There have been no official talks yet about compensation for the complainant against Jevon McSkimming

The former Deputy Police Commissioner is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to having child sexual exploitation and bestiality material on his work devices.

A watchdog report finds some of the nation's highest ranking officers ignored a young woman's anonymous complaints against McSkimming.

Instead she was prosecuted for digital harassment.

The woman, who is about 20 years McSkimming's junior, had a sexual relationship with the deputy commissioner before making the accusations.

Commissioner Richard Chambers says he spoke with her lawyer yesterday to apologise on behalf of the Police.

He says he has no doubt there will be further conversations at an appropriate time in the future.
