A Met police officer has been placed on the sex offenders register for five years after he was sentenced for voyeurism offences.

Police constable Irshad Kamal, 48, a serving officer attached to Merton Borough, was given a two-year community order at Southwark Crown Court on Monday.

He was also given 100 hours unpaid work, ordered to attend a sex offenders group program for 100 days, and told to pay £810 court costs.

Phones and computers seized before the sentencing will be destroyed and a sexual harm prevention order was also made.

The punishments were handed down after Kamal pleaded guilty to three counts of voyeurism at the same court on Friday, January 29.

The offences took place sometime between February 2010 and December 2012.

Scotland Yard said they happened while he was off-duty.

It also added Kamal remains suspended and that misconduct proceedings can be completed now the case has ended.
