South London copper charged with possession of indecent images of children
A serving South London police officer has been charged with three counts of possession of indecent images of children.
PC Darren Hourigan, who is attached to the South Area Command Unit, was arrested in March 2020. He was initially bailed before being released under investigation.
The charges follow an investigation by The Met’s Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse team, supported by the Directorate of Professional Standards.
He was charged by postal requisition notice on September 21 and will appear at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court today.
PC Hourigan was suspended prior to being charged.
