A detective charged with taking pictures beneath the clothing of a child without consent – also known as upskirting – has appeared in court.
North Wales Police Det Con Lee Harshey-Jones, 45, appeared at Chester Crown court on Tuesday but did not enter a plea.
He was a lead investigator in the death of two-year-old Ethan Ives-Griffiths, whose grandparents were jailed for murder in 2025.
Harshey-Jones, from Rhos-on-Sea, Conwy county, was released on conditional bail until the 30 September, with a provisional trial date set for 16 August 2027.
He was suspended from duties following the alleged incident involving a teenage girl in Colwyn Bay, Conwy county, in June.
Operating equipment beneath clothing without consent is an offence under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
