Police officer denies hotel room sex attack - BBC

The trial heard about the attempted rape of one woman.

A police officer barged into a woman's hotel room wearing a towel and tried to rape her, a trial at Lewes Crown Court has heard. (...) Jurors heard the woman secretly recorded part of the alleged attack, because she saw her phone under the bed and feared she was going to be raped. The court heard Mr Julian pinned her against the wall and tried to kiss her before getting on top of her and trying to pull down her jogging bottoms, on 17 August 2021 in Kent.

The woman recalled the ordeal in a video interview shown to jurors. In the interview, she said she was scared and kept saying "no", but said he "didn't listen". She described how she thought he was going to rape her and no-one would believe her, but if she had a video someone would believe her, adding: "I just pressed randomly where I thought the record button was and just left it.”

Dyfed-Powys Police detective denies sexually assaulting woman - BBC News

A Dyfed-Powys Police detective has denied sexually assaulting a woman by penetration. Det Con Sam Garside, 30, appeared before Swansea Crown Court on Monday morning. The alleged assault was reported to have happened whilst he was off duty on 3 December 2021. Trial date set for November.

He has been suspended from his work in the Ceredigion division of Dyfed-Powys Police since July 2023.

From the South Wales Guardian:

Garside, of Cwmann, pleaded not guilty to the offence. Nicola Powell, defending, said Garside accepted the act took place, but said it was consensual.

I take your point, but I just think that people like this, having been convicted and sentenced to life in prison, should be forgotten and not given the benefit of appearing in public discourse any more than absolutely necessary. I don't think we should execute people, but I do think there is a case for assigning them a state of non-existence.

Serving Metropolitan Police officer PC Jake Cummings from Hemel Hempstead, who is attached to the Metropolitan Police's Central West Command, appeared in custody at Hatfield Magistrates' Court on 23 February 2024 charged with rape, two counts of stalking, two counts of controlling and coercive behaviour and possession of an offensive weapon, after being charged by Hertfordshire Constabulary. The alleged offences in Hertfordshire relate to a single victim and took place when PC Jake Cummings was off duty.

PC Jake Cummings was remanded in custody to appear at St Alban's Crown Court on 26 March 2024. He has been suspended from duty. The Metropolitan Police’s Directorate of Professional Standards has been informed.

His plea hearing was today at St Albans Crown Court. He pleaded not guilty to a series of charges involving the same woman. A further hearing is scheduled for May 17th, but obviously it may well be affected by the long backlog of Crown Court cases, as it would appear that today's hearing was.

He is accused of raping the victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, on February 1. He has also been charged with multiple incidents of controlling and coercive behaviour towards the same woman between January 1, 2022 and February 1, 2024. This allegedly included isolating the victim from her family and friends, installing software on her phone to monitor her whereabouts, and installing cameras at her place of work to monitor her whereabouts. It is also alleged that Cummings emotionally blackmailed the victim by threatening suicide, and made unnecessary GP and hospital appointments for her which she could not attend without him. The defendant faces a third charge of multiple incidents of stalking between January 1, 2022 and February 1, 2024, including attending the alleged victim’s place of work, waiting outside the addresses of her friends, and threatening her mother that she was controlling her.

He was suspended from his post with the Met's Central West Command after being charged by Hertfordshire Police in February.

Earlier today, former PC Matthew Longmate of Derbyshire Police, avoided an immediate term of imprisonment when he was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment, suspended for 12 months at Southwark Crown Court, having been convicted of one charge of misconduct in a public office.

Having bailed former PC Matthew Longmate following his trial and conviction so he could spend Christmas with his family, Judge Christopher Hehir told former PC Matthew Longmate that he had decided to be “very lenient” and would not be sending him to prison.

"He is someone who had a stellar career and now has nothing. He could be usefully deployed and punished in the community."

Derbyshire police officer guilty over sex act avoids jail

Suspended sentence overturned and sent to prison.

Matthew Longmate, 47, from Derbyshire, had his 12 months’ suspended sentence overturned and has been sentenced for 11 months imprisonment after the Solicitor General referred his sentence as being unduly lenient. The court heard that Longmate and a fellow officer engaged in sexual activity with a woman in a police vehicle whilst they were on duty. The offence occurred after the officers gave the woman a lift home after an incident in a bar in Chesterfield. (...)

On 12 April 2024, the Court of Appeal quashed Longmate’s previous sentence, and sentenced him to 11 months imprisonment after it was referred under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.

Bedfordshire police officer convicted of sexually assaulting woman after night out - BBC News

PC James Barrett-Barnett, 25, of Bedfordshire Police, got into bed with a woman after a night out with friends and sexually assaulted her. He admitted his actions but claimed it had been consensual.

Barrett-Barnett was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual assault by penetration on Tuesday at Huntingdon Crown Court. The defendant, of Walsall Road, Walsall, is due to be sentenced on 31 May.

Barrett-Barnett had only been a probationary officer for a short time and had just completed his initial training when he committed this horrendous offence.

Misconduct proceedings against PC Barrett-Barnett will now progress.

Just completed training and then suspended for two years or so, presumably being paid, until a misconduct hearing sacks him. Nice.

Former Dorset Police special constable and now a serving police constable with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, PC Jack Thrumble, who shared “racially discriminatory and offensive” messages with colleagues in a WhatsApp group two years ago while serving with Dorset Police, has been dismissed after being found guilty of gross misconduct.

An investigation was launched by the Independent Office for Police Conduct after it received a conduct referral from Dorset Police in 2022. This led to the discovery of the “racially discriminatory and offensive language” used by PC Jack Thrumble during a conversation relating to a dating app.

At a hearing carried out at Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary headquarters, conducted by an independent, legally qualified chair, it was determined that PC Jack Thrumble had breached standards of professional behaviour relating to authority, respect and courtesy, equality and diversity and discreditable conduct. The panel gave a sanction of dismissal.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct:

“Our investigators obtained accounts from police officers concerned, reviewed mobile phone downloads, relevant legislation and force policies,” .

“The messages PC Jack Thrumble sent were offensive and racially discriminatory.

“Behaviour of this nature can seriously undermine public confidence in policing.

“The outcome of this hearing makes clear that the use of offensive language is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.”

PC Jack Thrumble will also be placed on the police barred list, preventing him from working as a police officer again.

Earlier today, the trial of PC Imran Mahmood, who is accused of unlawfully inflicting grievous bodily harm on Jordan Walker-Brown during a patrol on 4 May 2020, begun at Southwark Crown Court.

The court heard that PC Imran Mahmood, who was attached to the Metropolitan Police's Territorial Support Group which deals with outbreaks of public disorder, was patrolling the Haringey area of north London with eight other officers when he noticed Mr Walker-Brown walking along the pavement on his own and decided to speak to him "to see if he could legitimately explain what he was doing in the area" during the Covid-19 lockdown. PC Imran Mahmood also did not believe Mr Walker-Brown was dressed appropriately for exercise with his hood up and woolly hat on in warm weather.

PC Imran Mahmood and a colleague chased Mr Walker-Brown and drew their Tasers while the van followed. PC Imran Mahmood tasered Mr Walker-Brown as the latter tried to escape causing him to fall backwards from a wheelie bin over a gareden fence, landing head-first on the footpath below and breaking his back.

Former PC Lewis Wood videoed a dead person and the arrest of a child rape suspect while on duty before showing the footage to his family and friends via WhatsApp.

Former PC Lewis Wood also took stills and footage from the Avon and Somerset Police computer and shared them with his friends and family on multiple occasions.
