A former Thames Valley Police officer has been jailed after he sexually assaulted a child.

Luke Christopher Horner, 24, was sentenced at Northampton Crown Court to six years’ and four months’ imprisonment for engaging in penetrative sex with a child aged 13-15.

Horner was based at Amersham Police Station at the time of his crime, which took place while he was off-duty in Rushden, Northamptonshire, on June 11, 2023.

He was convicted last month following the sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl.
