The former officer has now been barred from serving in the police
A former GMP officer who messaged a sex worker about pricing while on duty has been barred from serving in the police. Ex-PC Wesley Bishop, who has now resigned from the force, was found to have breached professional behaviour standards with his actions deemed to have amounted to 'gross misconduct'.
Mr Watson said that the evidence does not suggest Bishop was engaging in exploitative behaviour. However, he argued that the former police constable's actions were a 'significant deviation' from what is expected from an officer.He said: "There is no evidence that he was deliberately seeking to exploit a vulnerable person. However, he should have known that sex workers are both vulnerable and frequently exploited.
Having heard the evidence, he said that, on the balance of probabilities, Bishop breached the standards of professional behaviour and this amounts to gross misconduct. He ruled that Bishop's behaviour was 'deliberate' and 'unforced'.
