Retired UK Police Officer Convicted for Reposting Islam-Mocking Meme

Gray was convicted under the Communications Act 2003 for a post showing bacon next to a man in a turban, captioned to mock reports of the Prophet Mohammed marrying a 9-year-old.

The judge deemed it 'grossly offensive' despite Gray's claim it highlighted child marriage issues, ordering him to pay over £1,100 in fines and costs.

The Free Speech Union is supporting his Crown Court appeal, arguing it shows a new blasphemy law targeting Islam. His neighbor reportedly complained after a local dispute, and he was cleared on a separate migration post.
