(CNN)A police officer has admitted buying pornography at the home of a grieving family following the death of their child as he waited for the undertaker to arrive.
"PC Maharaj's behaviour was shocking and even more so given he was guarding the property in the absence of the homeowner," Sal Naseem, the IPOC's regional director, said in the statement. "Not only were his actions deceitful but he caused considerable distress for the family involved who were dealing with the sudden death of a family member.
"Our investigation showed that PC Maharaj was the only person in the property who could have downloaded access to pornographic channels at the time the account was accessed. Today he has admitted his guilt under the weight of compelling evidence. I am sorry that the family involved had to deal with this while also coping with the tragic loss of their child," he added.Maharaj will be sentenced for fraud in August, and will also have to answer a case for gross misconduct, the IOPC said.When you subscribe to the blog, we will send you an e-mail when there are new updates on the site so you wouldn't miss them.
