Re-reading, I may have presumed wrongly that he served a sentence.

If he served his original sentence presumably he is out again. Most only serve only half their sentence anyway, and on licence fir the rest of the time. No doubt he can be recalled to court and re-sentenced.
Shocking that anyone, especially a police officer, should behave In Such a way.

I read that too. They didn't mention previous convictions. Had he got away with it until now?
