New disgrace from Met Police as 22-year-old school officer faces lengthy prison sentence after admitting to having sex with 14-year-old girl
- Some of PC Hussain Chehab’s offenses took place while he was a serving officer
- His duties were to meet parents and children at the school gates in London
- The revelations come as Scotland Yard grapples with the fallout from the Carrick scandal
A school liaison officer for the Met Police yesterday admitted having sex with a 14-year-old girl and possessing indecent images of children as young as two.
Some of pedophile PC Hussain Chehab’s shocking offenses took place while he was a serving officer whose duties included meeting parents and children at school gates in north London.
The 22-year-old faces jail time after pleading guilty to four counts of sexual activity with a child, one of sexual communication with a child and three counts of indecent photographs of children.
The revelations come as Scotland Yard grapples with the fallout from last week’s David Carrick scandal, after the beleaguered force was found to have had one of Britain’s worst rapists hidden within its ranks for 20 years.

Interest in teenagers
Wood Green Crown Court also heard the officer was found with 882 indecent still and moving images of children on his devices while an officer at the Met.
Of these, 293 were Category A images – the most serious – and some were said to have been of children as young as two years old.
Sarah Ellis, defending Chehab, said the images got onto his devices because of his membership in chat groups, adding that he was not looking for images of younger children himself.
“He will say yes, he was interested in teenagers, but he was not interested in children as young as two years old,” she told the court.

Judge John Dodd, KC, released him on bail under strict conditions, he must not contact his victim or have unsupervised contact with anyone under the age of 18.
But he warned Chehab, from Barnet, north London, that he faced a long prison sentence.
“You have admitted to extremely serious offenses and I don’t want you to get it wrong – you have to prepare for a prison sentence,” Judge Dodd said.
Chehab was arrested in July 2021 before being charged in September last year.
His crimes come as the Met urgently examines around 1,100 officers and staff who have had domestic violence or sexual offense complaints against them over the past decade following the Carrick scandal.
Last Monday, firearms officer Carrick, 48, admitted 49 counts against a dozen women, including 24 counts of rape committed during a 17-year campaign of horrific offences.
