LONDON: A senior officer from London’s Metropolitan Police was on Friday jailed for three years after being caught using hidden spy cameras to film naked women, in another damaging blow for the force.

Detective Inspector Neil Corbel, 40, told police he was addicted to pornography after his hard drive was discovered to contain images of 51 suspected victims, 19 of whom testified against him.
