A former police officer faces jail after he admitted molesting two teenage girls at a party.

Trevor Reeves, 55, wept as he pleaded guilty to two charges of indecently assaulting a 13-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl at his home in Childrey, near Wantage, on June 22 last year.

Reeves, who had been a Metropolitan Police constable, though not at the time of the offences, held the party to celebrate a move to France where he had bought a home.

Paul Reed, prosecuting at Oxford Crown Court yesterday, asked for a charge of indecently assaulting a third teenaged girl to lie on file.

The case was adjourned until March 9 for pre-sentence reports. Reeves was bailed on condition he lives at his new home on the Isle of Wight.
