PC admits sending child sex abuse video on Snapchat

George Voisey, 24, has pleaded guilty to three offences involving indecent images of a child

A former Sussex Police officer has admitted sending a child sex abuse video while employed by the force.

George Voisey distributed a category A video - the most serious classification of child sexual abuse material - on Snapchat of a child aged nine or 10, a court has heard.

On Monday at Hove Crown Court, the 24-year-old pleaded guilty to distributing an indecent photograph of a child and two counts of making indecent photographs of a child.

Voisey was not on duty when he committed the offences and resigned from the force on 1 March.

The crimes took place between June and October 2024.

Prosecutor Jeremy King previously told Brighton Magistrates' Court that the National Crime Agency alerted Sussex Police to the child sex offences in October.

Voisey, of Horsham, was then arrested and suspended from duty, police said.

Investigations found that Voisey made five category B and seven category C images, it added.

Sussex Police said it would consider misconduct proceedings against Voisey after criminal proceedings conclude.

Voisey was bailed and is expected to be sentenced in June.
