A former police officer has been arrested over several alleged non-recent sexual offences, the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland has said.

The alleged offences include a number of “serious” sexual offences and misconduct in public office, it said.

They are alleged to have taken place while he was on duty as a serving Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) officer.

The arrest by the Ombudsman took place on Wednesday following a complaint and the commencement of a criminal investigation.
