COP RESIGNS IN DISGRACE: Paedophile Walks FREE!

As well as the 10-minute video of Cave sexually abusing the boy at school, he had also written up documents detailing his account of the incident and other sexual fantasies about children.

Recorder Syed agreed the case was ‘unusual’ and said she had already decided to suspend the sentence on the recommendation of a probation officer and psychosexual specialist Victoria Appleyard, who shared concerns about ‘the impact’ of prison.

Recorder Syed said a ‘normal adult without such difficulties’ would have expected at least a four-year sentence, but this was reduced to three years due to Cave’s disorders.

For his early guilty pleas, Cave received another third off, reducing his sentence to two years. For the Category A images, he received eight months concurrent, and no separate penalty for the other offences.

Cave will be under supervision for 12 months and must sign onto the sex offenders’ register.
