Rhett Wilson, 28, was jailed earlier this year for approaching three Shropshire women while serving as a police officer, who he had come into contact with after they reported domestic violence allegations.

Wilson, who was at one stage based in Shrewsbury, also shared sexual images that one victim had sent to him.

He was jailed in January for two years and 10 months after being convicted of perverting the course of justice and police corruption offences.

Wilson joined the police force in April 2019 and the offences began in December the same year. He was arrested in March 2020 and was suspended before resigning four months later while under investigation.
