A Metropolitan Police officer convicted of possessing a child abuse video after her sister sent it to her phone has been charged with five further offences.

Superintendent Novlett Robyn Williams was sentenced to 200 hours of community service for possession of an indecent image in November 2019.

During her trial at the Old Bailey, jurors heard that she received an explicit child abuse video sent on WhatsApp from her older sister, Jennifer Hodge, who lives in Dollis Hill, Brent, so the officer could investigate the footage.

Her sister had originally been sent the clip by her boyfriend, 63-year-old Dido Massivi.

But Williams failed to report the clip, and while the court accepted she had not viewed it, the jury was not convinced she was unaware of it being on her phone.

The decorated officer, who was commended for her work after the Grenfell Disaster, was dismissed from the Metropolitan Police after a disciplinary hearing in March 2020 found her conviction amounted to gross misconduct.

However in 2021 she successfully appealed against the decision to dismiss her following her conviction and was reinstated as a police officer.

Williams was placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register for five years as part of her sentencing.

Now she has been charged with failing to notify police of information required five times between November 22, 2019 and December 11, 2021.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said she failed to notify police of: details of a credit card account; the credit card number, validation date and expiry date of a credit card held; details of the bank account opened on March 6, 2020; details of the debit card issued on June 22, 2021; and details of her travel outside the UK between December 11 and 19, 2021.

Williams will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on June 16.

Nick Price, head of the special crime and counter-terrorism division at the CPS, said: “We have authorised charges against Superintendent Novlett Robyn Williams, 58, for five offences relating to breaches of notification requirements.

“The charges follow an investigation by officers at the Metropolitan Police’s Central West Command Unit that began in 2022.

“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Supt Williams are active and that she has the right to a fair trial.

“It is extremely important there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
