Further allegations emerge against DCI James Mason, who kept his job after being found guilty of misconduct
Kristina O’Connor, a robbery victim, challenged the Met’s decision not to dismiss DCI Mason after he sent her inappropriate messages.Kristina O’Connor, a robbery victim, challenged the Met’s decision not to dismiss DCI Mason after he sent her inappropriate messages.detective who kept his job after telling a victim she was “amazingly hot” made inappropriate comments about female colleagues, saying he “would do anything for an attractive officer”, a court has heard.
She said it took many years to work up the “strength and courage” to report Mason, and the decision of a police misconduct panel in 2021 that he was guilty of gross misconduct but should keep his job made a mockery of the disciplinary process. Ch Insp Jones, who worked under Mason’s command in the robbery squad in Kentish Town in 2010, when he was a detective sergeant, claimed Mason “made inappropriate comments frequently” and was “overly interested in what he deemed to be attractive female PCs and didn’t hide this interest”. She added that on one occasion he was “scanning the office like a wolf” and making comments like “Who is that? She is fit” and “I am going to get her”.
Jones’s allegations were made after Mason’s police disciplinary hearing had reached its conclusions, leading the commissioner to say that they had “no material impact” on the misconduct proceedings. But Murphy and Gallagher said they illustrated that, when investigating their client’s complaint against Mason, the commissioner, under the law, should have “made inquiry of women officers serving with Mr Mason so as to establish whether his conduct formed part of a pattern of behaviour”.
