Callum Denley

Callum Denley, a 20-year-old former police officer from Malmesbury, Wiltshire, has been remanded in custody following charges of breaching his Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO). Denley, who was a serving officer with Wiltshire Police at the time of his initial arrest, resigned from his position after pleading guilty earlier this year to possessing a large cache of indecent images and videos of children, some depicting victims as young as five.

The original offences came to light through an investigation by Wiltshire Police, leading to Denley's arrest. At Swindon Crown Court, he received a ten-month suspended prison sentence, was ordered to complete rehabilitation activities, and must register as a sex offender for ten years. The SHPO was imposed to monitor and restrict his behaviour, including requirements for device inspections by police offender managers.

Denley, residing on Old Alexander Road in Malmesbury, allegedly failed to produce his iPhone for inspection between 16 June and 23 July 2025. This breach prompted his charging and remand into custody. He is scheduled to appear at Swindon Magistrates’ Court on 24 July 2025 to address the allegation. The case highlights ongoing efforts by Wiltshire Police to enforce protective orders against convicted sex offenders, ensuring compliance to safeguard the public, particularly children.

According to reports from Wiltshire 999s, a local news outlet covering emergency services and courts in the region, Denley's actions as a former officer have drawn significant attention due to the breach of trust involved in his initial crimes. No further details on the content of the images or the specifics of the police inspection process have been released, but the incident underscores the stringent monitoring applied to individuals on SHPOs.
