Former police officer found guilty of five counts of sexual assault and 15 counts of misconduct

Chief Inspector of Greater Manchester Police, Colin McFarlane, told Sky News that the offences Ali had committed are"appalling" and"abhorrent behaviour", adding,"we welcome the decision of the courts".

Mr McFarlane added that it is"very shocking" Ali exploited his position as a police officer, adding:"What is important to identify is that nobody coming into contact with police officers or staff should be exposed to harm, and clearly these young people have had that experience. Ali is responsible for the offences he committed, but I acknowledge that more could have been done to supervise him in his time at Greater Manchester Police.

Assistant Chief Constable Colin McFarlane said:"Whilst Ali is responsible for committing these crimes, no one should be subjected to crime or misconduct during their contact with police officers and staff, like these young people were - for that, and in acknowledgement that Ali could have been better supervised and managed, we are sorry."

He said the case prompted a full review of GMP's Volunteer Police Cadet Scheme, and"improvements are continuing to be implemented to ensure cadet leaders are the role models they are expected to be and that they do not pose a risk to anyone".
