PC Hussain Chebab has pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual activity with a girl aged 13 to 15. He has also admitted to three counts of making indecent photographs of a child and sexual communication with a child in court in January. He was found guilty by a misconduct panel on March 9 of gross misconduct.

Chebab was sacked without notice ahead of his sentencing on Friday.

His crimes first came to light in July 2021 when the family of a 16-year-old girl went to police alleging that his relationship with the girl started when she was 15.

He was arrested on August 24, 2021 and his phone and laptop were seized.

Chebab was placed on restricted duties before indecent images were found on his devices. He was arrested again on October 28 and suspended from duty.

Detectives later found messages that showed PC Chebab communicating with a 14-year-old girl in a sexual manner. The girl revealed that they appeared to be in a sexual relationship when she was 14 and he was 18-year-old.

One of Chebab’s roles while working in the police was to work as a Safer Schools Officer in North London, which involved meeting parents and children at the front gates of a school in Enfield.

This week the Met Police said “no evidence has been found linking any of Chehab’s offending to his role”, though he did make indecent images of children in this period.
