A former police officer taken to court over "extreme pornography" could face a new prosecution following an anti-corruption investigation. <\/p>\n

Ryan Connolly has admitted possessing an image that "portrayed in an explicit and realistic" manner an "obscene" act in which a person's life was in danger, as well as pictures of sexual acts being performed on animals. <\/p>\n

A Merseyside Police misconduct investigation has revealed he also took a "selfie" at a murder scene and sent racist and homophobic messages. <\/p>\n

A court has now heard he could face criminal allegations flowing from that disciplinary inquiry, the Liverpool Echo reports. <\/p>\n

Connolly resigned from the police force ahead of a misconduct hearing where, in November, it was ruled he would have been sacked he would have been sacked if he had still been a serving officer. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old was barred from working for the police again. <\/p>\n

It has now been revealed that he could face criminal charges in relation to some of the material seen in the disciplinary. <\/p>\n

Details emerged as he appeared in Manchester Crown Court over three counts of possessing "extreme pornographic" images. <\/p>\n

Offences date back to January and July of 2017.<\/p>\n

Henry Riding, prosecuting, said: "As recently as Friday the police have submitted a report but not a file for the Crown Prosecution Service asking them to consider the possibility of criminal proceedings arising out of the material that formed the basis of that gross misconduct hearing."<\/p>\n
