Derbyshire PCSO charged with number of sexual offences against children

A Derbyshire Constabulary Police Community Support Officer has been charged with a number of sexual offences against children.

Matthew Shaw was yesterday (1 September) charged by Nottinghamshire Police with 29 alleged counts including voyeurism and engaging in sexual communication with a child.

The 37-year-old is suspended from his role at Derbyshire Constabulary and has been remanded to prison after appearing at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court.

Deputy Chief Constable Kate Meynell said: “Derbyshire Constabulary expects the highest level of standards and professionalism from our officers and staff. Should the alleged offences against Matthew Shaw be found proven then they would fall far below those expected of Derbyshire Constabulary employees.”
