Trainee Detective Sacked For Sex Scandal


A rookie detective – cleared of criminal sex charges against an internet date at a police section house – has been booted out of the force after an internal probe.

The unnamed 32 year-old trainee detective constable – based at Hounslow Police Station, West London (pictured) – was originally charged with three offences, but they were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service.

However, following a private misconduct hearing, the officer was sacked by the Metropolitan Police.

He was investigated by the Directorate of Professional Standards managed by the IPCC.

Commander Peter Spindler said: “The Metropolitan Police Service takes all allegations of misconduct, whether on or off duty, seriously.

“This officer was the subject of some very serious allegations, and the misconduct hearing having reviewed the evidence found that the case against him was proven.

“He abused his status as a constable for his own gratification in a most appalling way.

“We will not tolerate this type of behaviour, and he has therefore been dismissed from the service for gross misconduct.”


He made contact with the woman involved via a dating website.



The officer, who was off duty at the time of the incident, arranged to meet up with her and took her to a police section house in Brentford where sexual acts took place.
