Ryan Hill, aged 36, had worked in the Beds, Cambs and Hertfordshire armed policing unit, had persistently contacted the girl across messaging apps – including while he was on duty.
He had been dismissed for gross misconduct in February – but details could not be reported at the time due to an ongoing criminal case, which came to an end last week.
Between February and March 2024, Hill had asked the girl for photographs and meetups.
Hill pleaded guilty to attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and was sentenced at St Albans Crown Court to 24 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months.
He was also made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for seven years, given a rehabilitation and activity requirement and placed on the sex offenders register.
The former cop had been immediately suspended, then resigned before his misconduct hearing, where he was put on the barred list, meaning he cannot work in the profession again.
At his dismissal hearing, Bedfordshire Police Chief Constable, Trevor Rodenhurst, said: “PC Hill’s predatory behaviour demonstrates a complete lack of integrity and respect to women and children. This was not an error of judgement but a wilful act for self-gratification.
"His persistent and wilful conduct will undoubtedly undermine and impact trust and confidence in Bedfordshire Police and, had police not intervened, he could have continued with this pattern of behaviour, potentially seeking out other victims. His conduct was grossly unacceptable and there is no place in policing for those who perpetrate such behaviour."
my view
This is exactly what I’ve been shouting about in every single one of my previous statements—corrupt coppers abusing their power, again and again, because they’ve got a badge on their chest and a uniform on their back. That’s all it takes, apparently, to get away with the most disgusting crimes imaginable. Flash a badge and suddenly you're above the law. You're untouchable. You're "protected."
Well, here it is in black and white. Hill—a man who swore to protect the public—is now officially known as a pedophile. Let that word hang in the air: pedophile. Not a rumour. Not a maybe. Not something under investigation. He stood in court and pleaded guilty. He admitted to grooming a child. A CHILD. And what punishment does he get? A suspended sentence. He walks free.
What kind of twisted, broken justice system allows that to happen?
What kind of message does that send to victims? What message does that send to other predators hiding in uniform? That it's okay? That they can do it too, as long as they admit it later and say “sorry”?
It makes me sick to my stomach. Because Hill isn't some lone freak—they’re acting like he’s one bad apple. But how many more are hiding in plain sight? How many more names are going to come crawling out of the woodwork, exposed for the monsters they truly are? You think Hill is the last? Absolutely not. There’s a rot in the system, and it’s spreading.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the uniform is a shield—not just from danger, but from consequences. These people hide behind it. They use it as a disguise, a mask, a wall. It gives them power, and they know damn well they can get away with abusing it. They’re not held accountable. They’re not judged like everyone else. They get special treatment—because apparently wearing a badge makes you some kind of saint, even when you’re a predator.
But there’s no hiding anymore. He admitted it. There’s no doubt, no suspicion, no speculation. It’s fact. He groomed a child. A serving officer. And still, they let him walk out of court. No jail time. No justice.
He should be behind bars—rotting. Let him face the same fear and vulnerability he inflicted on that child. Let the inmates deal with him. Because if there’s one place where even the worst criminals draw the line, it’s at predators like him. And honestly? That’s more justice than the system gave.
And don’t think this is isolated. No, what do they do instead of holding people like this accountable? They’re shutting down front desks. Closing off public access to the police. They say it’s budget cuts—bullshit. They’re trying to shut us up. Keep us out. Make it harder for ordinary people to ask questions, to report misconduct, to challenge corruption. It’s not about saving money—it’s about saving face.
I’m angry. I’m beyond angry. I’m furious. And I’m not the only one. People are waking up to the fact that this system is broken. That too many in power are rotten to the core. And until we start seeing real justice—until predators in uniform get treated like the criminals they are—none of us are safe.
We don’t forget. We don’t forgive. And we won’t stay silent.
