The officer called the woman to warn her not to tell anyone about what had happened
A police officer has been dismissed after a Police Ombudsman investigation found that he had sex with a vulnerable woman at an industrial estate in Antrim while on duty in 2016.
The Police Ombudsman, Mrs Marie Anderson, said: "The evidence obtained during the course of the investigation was clear that this officer preyed on a woman who was obviously vulnerable. The incident occurred in a public space while the officer was on duty. "Such behaviour is a fundamental betrayal of public trust. When proven, it is serious corruption and will not be tolerated.
The officer’s personal phone records were examined, revealing that he had called the woman seven times within two hours on the afternoon of the incident. Analysis showed that these calls had been made shortly before the officer left the police station, during his journey to the industrial estate and shortly after his return to the station.
However, when Police Ombudsman investigators examined the police file for the burglary, there was no specific mention of the bracelet, and other police officers who had worked on the case could recall no enquiries relating to it.
