I read the entire description of all of his crimes on Wales Online and from my perspective, it didn’t seem like he abused his power as a police officer except for one victim who refused every request (clever girl). I understand the anger towards cops but I think we should be directing our anger towards those police who abuse their power over others to get they want. This guy was a predator who chose young girls because he knew he could manipulate them.
The fact he’s a police officer is terrible for Welsh police because now trust in them has been undermined. It’s hard for these young girls to ever look at police and think they’re safe. But his superiors did what they needed to; suspended him from duty, seized his devices and now he’s going to be locked up where I hope he rots.

Ridiculous. Once is enough.
What a cop does in their spare time, or before they’re cops, or after they’re cops, reflects on the nature of people the job attracts. Very pertinent.
