Christopher Thompson has been suspended by West Yorkshire Police

A West Yorkshire Police employee has denied trying to arrange group sexual activity with a child under the age of 13.

Christopher Thompson also denied two counts of making indecent photos of a child, and sending a threatening message on Snapchat, when he appeared at Leeds Magistrates' Court earlier.

The 31-year-old, of Granville Road in Doncaster, was granted conditional bail ahead of an appearance at Leeds Crown Court on 12 May.

Mr Thompson, who works in regional scientific support services, has been suspended from duty, police said.
