Officer facing probe over child abuse clip contact bbc.com
An inquiry is looking into Ch Supt Simon Ovens' contact with another officer prior to her conviction for possession of an indecent image.
Supt Robyn Williams was sentenced this month after failing to report her sister for sending a "disturbing" clip of child abuse on WhatsApp.
It has emerged she contacted Ch Supt Simon Ovens for advice.
The Met says it is alleged he may have failed to disclose information that could have helped in an investigation.
Williams' conviction caused controversy, with The National Black Police Association saying it was "stunned and shocked" by the sentence, calling it "institutional racism".
