Police confirmed today that the issue came to light during their current major inquiry into decades of child abuse at care homes and organisations.
The investigation into the police officer’s decisions concerns cases active in the last couple of years.
Deputy Chief Officer Lenny Harper said that at present the inquiry into the officer’s decisions, which was being carried out independently, was looking at disciplinary matters. ‘However, should anything of a criminal nature arise the papers would, as normal, be forwarded to the Attorney General’s office,’ he said.
