Police Constable Anthony Ritchie and former PC Steven Darren Walters, both of West Midlands Police, have been found guilty of having sexual relationships with three women, some of which they met while responding to domestic abuse incidents.
Ritchie asked the woman on a date after going to her home to arrest her son, had sex with her on duty and persuaded her to lie to senior officers about how they met after the woman’s son complained.
Both men were both found guilty at Birmingham Crown Court of two counts of misconduct in a public office. The trial, which lasted 12 days, was told Walters was jailed for sexually assaulting two different women in 2015 while on duty, and was dismissed by WMP in 2016 after an IOPC investigation. Derrick Campbell, IOPC regional director, said: ‘Abuse of power for sexual gain is a breach of the public’s trust, which seriously undermines confidence in the police service and discredits the profession.
