Ex-cop had **** with boy, sent G-string pic to ‘teen’

An ex-police officer had **** with an underage boy at his parents’ home, tried to meet with another purported teen and asked for child-****** material in encrypted chats.

Mark Ward, 49, is on remand awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to a string of child-****** charges over conduct spanning five years.

During this time, he sought out **** with teenagers or searched for explicit images and videos of underage victims.

After working as a senior constable with NSW Police, the 49-year-old became a flight attendant and restaurant employee.

In 2017, he began talking with a 13-year-old boy on Grindr, sending him photographs of himself in his police uniform, according to an agreed court statement.

A year later, Ward arranged to meet the teen at the boy’s western Sydney home while his mother was out.

They had **** in the boy’s bedroom and kissed at the front door before the youth urged Ward to leave before his mother returned.

In May 2023, an undercover police officer contacted the 49-year-old on Grindr pretending to be a 13-year-old male.

After asking the purported teen for ***** pictures, Ward sent six explicit images of himself, including one where he was wearing a G-string and another showing jewellery on his genitalia.

During his arrest in June 2023, police seized a number of electronic items from Ward’s St Andrews home.

On an iPhone, officers discovered chats on the encrypted Telegram platform between Ward and a person saved as “No Lim *****” who claimed he was 16 years old.

As well as asking to meet the contact for ****, the former police officer said he was interested in ******* activity with boys as young as 12.

“Got any mates or brothers that are into f***ing as well?” he asked.

While the pair did not physically meet, Ward asked for and was sent explicit child-****** material, the statement said.

“I have everything from newborn to 16 lol,” the contact wrote.

Nine files including anime pictures of pre-pubescent boys and videos of real victims were found on his phone.

Ward is facing two counts of ******* ************ and one count of ******* touching involving the 13-year-old boy.

He also faces charges of using a carriage service to send indecent images to someone under 16 years old, soliciting child-****** material and possessing child-****** material.

He will next appear at Campbelltown District Court for a brief mention on July 25.
