A police officer has been jailed for 26 years for 20 offences including multiple counts of rape and sexual assault on a child.

Stephen Hardy, 46, a detective constable with Greater Manchester Police (GMP), used his teenage victim as a “puppet or sex object”, Judge Robert Trevor-Jones said during his sentencing on Wednesday.

Right, on! DevCat, preach! Every bad cop, spoils all the good cops till they're all bad cops. A good cop's silence is equal to aiding and abetting or maybe obstruction of justice. But, I'm not a lawyer.

"Good cops" Get fired or killed by their fellow officers.

Lots of news stories about both. Prison guard acquaintance once told me a story about not getting backup after "ratting out" a fellow guard. Nothing bad happened to him, but afterwards he was never sure if he'd get help if needed. He's not a prison guard anymore.
