The parents of Gracie Spinks, who was killed by the man who stalked her, have said that the police response to their daughter's case was "diabolical."

An inquest jury concluded on Thursday that Gracie was unlawfully killed by a man she had reported for stalking, after Derbyshire police admitted a number of failings in the handling of her case.

A three-week inquest into her death heard that Michael Sellers, 35, who met 23-year-old Gracie through work and became “obsessed with her”, had previously harassed at least eight other women.

Gracie reported his behaviour to the police four months before her murder in June 2021. Officers cautioned him but did not request information from his employer about complaints against him or carry out a national database check, and categorised him as “low risk”.

They also failed to investigate a bag of weapons found near the field in Duckmanton, Derbyshire, where Gracie was killed while tending to her horse, six weeks before her death, with one officer telling the inquest she thought they could be theatre props.

A rucksack containing a number of knives, an axe, a hammer, Viagra, a handwritten note that said “do not lie”, as well as a receipt that could be traced to Sellers were logged as lost property by the force.

On 3 November 2023, South Yorkshire Police's PC Rowan Horrocks was acquitted of of two counts of rape following a trial at Leeds Crown Court. The charges related to a report that a woman had been raped in South Yorkshire on 28 November 2021.

[Source: as stated in image)​

PC Rowan Horrocks was accused of raping the woman twice, biting her repeatedly and pulling out a clump of her hair during the alleged assault. Giving evidence at Leeds Crown Court, PC Rowan Horrocks told jurors that all sexual activity between the two was consensual.

PC Rowan Horrocks said that the woman had "seemed fine" and "a bit merry", and the bruising to her chest, neck and breasts was caused by him giving her "love bites", but denied that he "bit her very hard, repeatedly".

"I'm not the sort of person that would intentionally leave any mark on any person so bad," PC Rowan Horrocks said.

PC Rowan Horrocks has been suspended by South Yorkshire Police and faces misconduct proceedings.

Following his acquittal at Leeds Crown Court, former South Yorkshire Police officer, PC Rowan Horrocks, resigned from the force on 20 November 2023.

An accelerated misconduct hearing was held before Chief Constable Lauren Poultney the following day and it was found that PC Rowan Horrocks committed gross misconduct and would have been dismissed had he not already left the force.

The misconduct hearing was told that former PC Rowan Horrocks had left the complainant with multiple and extensive injuries after he took her home with him following a night out in November 2021.

The injuries that former PC Rowan Horrocks caused to the woman were not disputed furing the trial and his defence was they happened during consensual sex. However, the force said the level of injury would have amounted to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, which, in law, cannot be consented to.

It was therefore determined that former PC Rowan Horrocks had committed gross misconduct.

Chief Constable Poultney also decided on the facts that no consent for inflicting these injuries was provided and former PC Rowan Horrocks did not reasonably believe the complainant was consenting.

Chief Constable Lauren Poultney said:

“This case sets a precedent within South Yorkshire Police and demonstrates how we will explore all available avenues to deal with people who do not deserve to call themselves a police officer ...

"I know a matter like this will understandably impact the trust and confidence our hard-working officers and staff strive to build with our communities, however it is only right we remain open and transparent about it to demonstrate how robustly we will deal with someone in these circumstances. There is no place for such a person in my force.”

I note this wanker used the 'rough sex' defence, first discredited by Robert Chambers when he killed a teenager in Central Park in the 80s.

A dubious defence at best - it didn't work when Chambers tried it, and it has reliably failed to work on many occasions since, including this one.

PC Jonathan Broadhead of the Metropolitan Police has now been been cleared of gross misconduct during an incident in Brixton on 21 January 2021 when he tasered a 10 year-old, referred to as Child A during the proceedings, as he believed his action "was necessary to control the perceived threat".

(Source: as stated in image)​

PC Jonathan Broadhead claimed the girl could have inflicted a “huge array” of injuries and “potentially fatal” wounds with the shears, and so he pulled out his Taser after she “armed herself” and headed upstairs.

“I felt the Taser, as a distance tool, was the best way to deal with Child A, try to secure the shears to… protect us (and) anybody else in the property,” he said.

PC Jonathan Broadhead shouted “Put them down” a third time and “Police officer, Taser” before tasering the girl as she tried to go upstairs.

He said he tasered her twice because he did not believe the first shot had worked.

He said: “I felt that, as she reached the bend in the stairs, that was my last possible moment to take the activation of the Taser – had she made the bend the Taser would not have the option any more.

“Moving around the corner gives her a bigger height advantage (Note: Child A is 5ft tall) – with me going towards the bottom of the stairs, she would have been directly above me,” he added.

Asked why he did not let the girl retreat upstairs, he said: “I didn’t know what her intentions were with the shears, whether there was anybody else in there, why she’d decided when she saw us to pick them up and specifically go the way she did.”

[GarveyLives]

Former Inspector Gerard Hutchings (now retired) of Wingrove Road, Ashurst, Hampshire, was charged on Wednesday 1 November 2023 with 29 historic misconduct and sexual offences, including indecent assaults - contrary to the Sexual Offences Act 1956, causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent - contrary to the Sexual Offences Act 2003, and misconduct in a public office - contrary to Common Law.

The charges relate to 18 different victims, who were ]aged between 17 and 31 at the time of the alleged incidents, which took place between 1999 and 2007 in various police stations across the Hampshire force area, where former Inspector Gerard Hutchings worked.

Former Inspector Gerard Hutchings left Hampshire Constabulary in 2007, and their Operation Marmion team began an investigation in 2021, following reports about his alleged offending.

Former Warwickshire Police officer, Alan Butler, of Camp Hill, Nuneaton, who served in Nuneaton CID, was found guilty of two counts of misconduct in a public office in 2021. While working as a staff investigator, former officer Alan Butler used his position to engage in relationships with two women whose cases he was involved in 'investigating'.

(Source: as stated in image)​

The first charge related to a relationship former officer Alan Butler had with a woman between 2015 and 2017, after she had reported her adoptive father for historic child abuse. The second concerned sexual misconduct by him with a woman whose case he was 'investigating' in 2017.

On 4 October 2021, former officer Alan Butler was sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment, at Coventry Crown Court.

Superintendent Daf Goddard, head of the Warwickshire Police Professional Standards Department, said:

“Butler abused his privileged position to exploit these vulnerable women and in doing so, abused trust and let down the public he was meant to be serving.

“This behaviour will not be tolerated. I would like to offer my assurances that Warwickshire Police view matters of misconduct extremely seriously; we act immediately on information given, thoroughly investigate and will bring offenders to justice.

“We welcome the custodial sentence from the courts that reflects the grave nature of the offence committed.”

The sentence was referred to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.

On 30 November 2021, the Court of Appeal found former officer Alan Butler's original sentence to be unduly lenient and doubled it to 3 years’ imprisonment.

It has now emerged that serious complaints were made against former officer Alan Butler for 20 years - before he was finally arrested.

Just like to thank GarveyLives for their sterling work on keeping us updated on these vile criminals.

It's a very important thread (also ta to Lurdan for kicking it off) and though am long gone from those islands, won't forget the shitty behaviour from wanker cops on power trips.

Personal unpleasant experiences with them aside, these men making the headlines are attracted to the force because it makes it easy for them to indulge in wrongness. It seems to reinforce misogynist and racist lifestyles and yet, maybe... just maybe... these prosecutions and bad publicity might steer potential bad men away from the job.
