Dr Hugh O’Neill, who was already serving a prison sentence for sexual offences against two children, finally admitted to abusing 13 female colleagues in 2016 – 13 years after the force’s second investigation into him. But, since then, 20 more Norfolk police officers have made similar allegations, highlighting the extent of the force’s failings. While committed during his time at Norfolk police, those crimes were not related to his professional role, it was reported at the time. The following year, O’Neill admitted to offences against 13 female Norfolk police officers. It also said Norfolk police officers “had correctly reported the matter up the chain of command” but it did not lead to a prosecution.
