A police officer has been jailed for 26 years for 20 offences including multiple counts of rape and sexual assault on a child.
Stephen Hardy, 46, a detective constable with Greater Manchester Police (GMP), used his teenage victim as a “puppet or sex object”, Judge Robert Trevor-Jones said during his sentencing on Wednesday.

The first “A” in ACAB stands for all.
We all know that him and his gang would have made this disappear if they could.
I hope he goes into general population.

100% this guy is a piece of shit and fuck jail, he deserves to die. But this community is bullshit. Not all cops are bad, in fact I’d wager most cops are good. You just don’t usually hear about some one who is doing their job correctly, only the ones who don’t.
Cops who don’t do bad things allow other cops to do bad things.
Not all cops are bad, but the phrase most people use about a few bad apples is actually, “one bad apple spoils the whole barrel”.
Right, on! DevCat, preach! Every bad cop, spoils all the good cops till they’re all bad cops. A good cop’s silence is equal to aiding and abetting or maybe obstruction of justice. But, I’m not a lawyer.
“Good cops” Get fired or killed by their fellow officers.
Lots of news stories about both. Prison guard acquaintance once told me a story about not getting backup after “ratting out” a fellow guard. Nothing bad happened to him, but afterwards he was never sure if he’d get help if needed. He’s not a prison guard anymore.
Why do lemmy worlders always come into our communities complaining about their existence?
Fuck off, seriously. Do you see me police your communities? This is not Reddit and it’s not your instance either. If that’s confusing for you then go crawling back to Spez.
“I’m sure that not all the Wehrmacht soldiers were bad! In fact I’d wager that most of them were good people! You just don’t hear about them only hear about the war crimes, execution, rapes, and genocide!”
Did you read the DOJ report on the Minneapolis police department? There are no good cops. The only good cop would be a position that is purely about harm reduction, which doesn’t exist. Cops make everything worse, actually.
I must have missed the parade of “good cops” who were demanding his punishment after making them all look like shit.
There can be no good cops if they turn a blind eye to bad cops.
I married a cop, and I know what sort of BS happens in that scheme. If you give your least educated, untrained, and morally corrupt significant power, then things like this will continue to happen.
All ‘good’ cops are fired, resign, or are corrupted into bad cops, so no currently existant cops are good.
A cop who hypothetically joined the police force purely to do good and protect people is either supporting cops like this by inaction, corrupted by other cops to accepting this kind of thing as normal, or shoved into a closet desk job until they give up and go away. No matter how much copaganda police procedurals try to make you believe otherwise.
If someone is doing their job correctly and not speaking out/doing something against shit like this, they are still a bad cop.
I’ll be the devil’s advocate: some cops (in my experience, a small minority) are good people, but there is no such thing as a good cop. Being a cop is morally wrong and anti-worker.
