A former police officer accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy has lost his bid for bail after being allegedly found with child abuse material on his phone.

Mark Ward, 48, was arrested in June this year after being accused of arranging to meet at the boy’s home for sex in 2018 while his mother was out.
