An MLA in Northern Ireland has said it is “deeply disturbing” that 39 PSNI officers have been subject to internal investigation over allegations of sexual misconduct in the last five years.

Gerry Carroll asked justice minister Naomi Long for her reaction to the information during ministerial question time at Stormont. Mrs Long said it was important that serious offenders were removed from their post.
