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.
