Leigh Brightman
Hertfordshire PC who pleaded guilty to three counts of misconduct in public office and two of possessing indecent images of a child before his trial was due to start in November 2015, and was jailed for four years.
Brightman had been assigned to find a 15 year old, regarded as very vulnerable, who had run away from home. He contacted her on her mobile phone a number of times over the course of 11 days in July and August 2014. Without informing her that he was a police officer he arranged for her to come to his house in order to have sex. Brightman claimed he then had a change of heart and sent her away. The girl claimed he had forced her to perform an act of oral sex but a rape charge relating to this was dropped.
When arrested 117 indecent images of children and one indecent film were found on his laptop. During the course of the subsequent investigation it was discovered that he had had inappropriate consensual sexual relationships with an alleged victim of harassment whose case he was investigating in 2012, and then with another woman he had first arrested in 2009 as a 17 year old with a Class A drug habit. He had remained in contact with her and when, some years later, she reverted to drug use and turned to prostitution it was claimed that he first offered to act as a "minder", which she rejected, and subsequently paid to have sex with her.
Two further counts of misconduct in public office, in respect of repeatedly visiting a third woman's home and pestering a fourth for sex, and a further count of possessing indecent images of children were left on file.

Sam Floyd
Hertfordshire DC who pleaded guilty to one count of misconduct in public office in September and was given 6 month suspended jail sentence, a fine of £3000 and ordered to perform 200 hours of unpaid work. He faces a misconduct hearing.
Floyd was assigned to investigate two burglaries at the home of a woman considered at high risk of domestic violence. She had already been moved twice for her own protection and it was suspected the burglaries may have been carried out by the man responsible for that violence. While the investigation was still underway he exchanged inappropriate text messages with the woman and formed a relationship with her. After the investigation had concluded this developed into a sexual relationship. A statement issued by Hertfordshire Police after his trial stated that he "took advantage of her vulnerability".

Following the convictions of Floyd, Leigh Brightman (see above) and Simon Salway (see post 2) Hertfordshire Police announced that it was setting up Operation Downfield in order to "investigate within its own ranks to track down any other officers who were taking advantage of vulnerable women". Deputy Chief Constable Bill Jephson said that he expected there to be more cases.

Using my crystal ball I can sum up this investigation for you right now:
Duration: 17 years.
Cost: 842 billion pounds.
Conclusion: Few bad apples, but basically everything's fine. No need for anyone to get sacked or charged with corruption or criminal negligence or anything else for that matter.
I'm neither nor, or nor. But I feel better for having them.

Story in The Times today :
Rapist officer’s victims sue over police failures
This refers to
Wayne Scott
Scott was a Police Constable with Cleveland Police from 2002 to 2012 when he was sacked for misconduct after sexually assaulting a woman accused of shoplifting who he was transporting.
Two women then came forward separately to accuse him of rape. One, who had been raped by him more than once, including in a Police Station interview room, had reported it but had decided not to proceed with the complaint :
The second allegation involved a vulnerable 15 year old arrested for breach of the peace. She was driven home by Scott. The next day her step-father informed a family liaison officer from the Children's Society that Scott had arranged a date with her. This was reported to the Police Professional Standards Department but no action followed. The Police would subsequently claim they had been advised not to proceed because both the girl and her stepfather "had mental health problems". In 2012 the girl claimed she had been raped by him.
Ultimately neither of these allegations led to a prosecution but yet other women came forward.
In 2013 he pleaded guilty to two attempted rapes, six rapes and two common assaults against one woman, and two charges of inciting another child to engage in sexual activity. He denied charges of rape and attempted rape against a second woman but was found guilty. He was sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment with an additional four years extended supervision on licence.
It transpired that before he had been sacked he had been investigated more than once for assault and sexual assault against both colleagues and women accused of crimes. He had been disciplined for using the police computer to access details of women. Inappropriate behaviour was known to fellow officers, who either didn't report it, “it was just Wayne being Wayne”, or were intimidated by him. On one occasion when attached to a Community Policing Team charged with "forming positive relationships" with local residents he had shown colleagues letters he had received from three ten year old girls he had taken to the seaside where had had given them ice cream and "cuddles".
The quotes are from the official report into Scott's activities that Cleveland Police conducted under IPCC supervision. A version that has been redacted to prevent identification of his victims can be found here.
INVESTIGATION REPORT - Cleveland Police- (PDF file)
It includes details of the investigations into how the various allegations against him before he was finally sacked had been (mis)handled. It's both an astonishing catalogue of failures, and an insight into the police culture which allowed him to carry out multiple sexual assaults before he was finally prosecuted.
Rapist officer’s victims sue over police failures
Paul Peachey
December 19 2016, 12:01am, The Times
A police force is being sued over its alleged failure to stop an officer whose predatory sexual behaviour escalated into rape over the course of ten years.
Cleveland Constabulary faces legal claims from at least four people for missing opportunities to cut short the career of Wayne Scott, 40, a serial rapist who served for nearly a decade after his first sexual attack as an officer.
Scott, a former constable, was jailed for 19 years in 2013 for crimes including a series of rapes against two women and offering money to a teenage girl for sex.
He had used the protection of his uniform to carry out assaults. During his time as an officer he was accused of sexual and physical assault and of using police computers to hunt for pictures of women, including prostitutes, but he was not suspended or sacked.
In 2003 when Scott groped a colleague’s breast a few months after joining the force, police chiefs arranged a mediation meeting with his victim instead of sacking him.
That victim, who is among those suing, said that she was put under pressure to drop her complaint or risk blighting her own career. An email from her husband to Iain Spittal, who became chief constable this year, said that if the case had been handled correctly, Scott would “not have gone on to offend to the extent he did”.
In 2012 Scott was sacked for groping the breast of a suspected shoplifter and asking her for oral sex. After his sacking other women came forward to accuse him of crimes against them.
Another former colleague who was raped by Scott and is suing, said that she would never have been attacked if the force had acted in 2003.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said: “Because they didn’t stop him sooner my suffering went on for a lot longer. They knew, but they didn’t do anything. He was like a textbook narcissist. He was charming, funny, caring . . . and he played on the fact that he was a police officer. In reality he’s a full-on psychopath.”
Two other former officers accuse the force of failing to deal with Scott.
One woman said that in 2007 Scott assaulted her and broke her wrist. She said that she had been put under pressure by Cleveland officers to drop her complaint. Later the force ruled that her claims were “unsubstantiated” but it emerged that all documents, records of interviews and decisions relating to the episode had been lost.
Scott was also accused of trying to take a teenage girl with mental health problems on a date. She said that he had sex with her in a police van instead of taking her to a police station.
After his suspension in 2011 for the attack on the shoplifter he was arrested for an assault on a woman but never charged. He later raped her.
Cleveland police said that it could not comment on the litigation.

"could" get the sack
Police officer caught drink-driving
She was spared jail, but now faces a disciplinary hearing - which could end her otherwise unblemished 23-year police career.
Prosecuting solicitor Sian Vaughan told the court Morris was seen arriving in her car at Swansea Central Police Station shortly before 07:00 on 21 April.
She said: "Officers on duty saw the defendant parking and when a sergeant spoke to her she wasn't herself - quiet, detached and struggling to hold a conversation."
The defendant was breathalysed and found to have 83 micrograms in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35 micrograms.

PC 'raped girl, 16, while on a date'
A Met Police officer raped a 16-year-old girl twice while on a "hellish" date, a court has heard.
PC Adam Provan, 38, forced himself on the student before taking her to a fast-food outlet in east London to buy a milkshake, a jury heard.
The girl's father had allowed the date to go ahead because he was "reassured" that Mr Provan was a serving police officer, Wood Green Crown Court heard.
Mr Provan from Kirtling, near Newmarket in Suffolk, denies two counts of rape.
'Groomed for days'
The pair met after being introduced by a mutual friend in summer 2010 and kept in touch before deciding to go on a date, the jury heard.
Mr Provan, who has been suspended from his job in Barking and Dagenham, allegedly told the girl he was 22 years old.

Earlier today, at the Central Criminal Court, Metropolitan Police Superintendent Robyn Williams was convicted of possessing an indecent image of a child after being accused of having ‘a moving image file of Category A severity’; Category A is the most serious level of child abuse images.
Superintendent Robyn Williams also faced a charge of corrupt or improper exercise of police powers in failing to report the distribution of an image, but was cleared of this.
In February 2018, Superintendent Robyn Williams was one of 17 people who was sent the video via WhatsApp on her phone by her sister, Jennifer Hodge, who, in turn had been sent the material by her (Hodge's) partner, Dido Massivi.
Hodge was convicted of distributing an indecent image while Massivi was convicted of distributing an indecent photograph of a child and possession of extreme pornography (believed to involve an act of bestiality).
All three will be sentenced next week.
