Two retired officers with the Metropolitan Police officers have admitted possession of thousands of child abuse images after a “lengthy and complex” investigation which was linked to a third officer who apparently committed suicide rather than face charges.
Jeremy Laxton, 63, who now lives in Lincolnshire, and Jack Addis, 63, from Perthshire in Scotland, admitted the charges during a hearing at Southwark Crown Court in London on Thursday and will be sentenced later in the year.
