He worked for Avon and Somerset Police as an IT worker and has now been sacked by the force. Schofield, from Bath, was suspended from his job at police HQ in Portishead after he was arrested and charged.

Following his convictions, a misconduct hearing was chaired by Assistant Chief Constable Will White and he was dismissed without notice.

The details and impact of his criminality were distressing to read for the panel, as they would be for members of the public. “The panel is grateful for the courage shown by the victim and all those who provided information and evidence to the investigation team, which resulted in him being brought to justice for these abhorrent crimes.
