Two Metropolitan Police officers committed gross misconduct during the “disproportionate” and “humiliating” strip search of a 15-year-old Black schoolgirl, a disciplinary hearing has found.
The teenager, known as Child Q, was forced to expose intimate parts in a “traumatic” police search at a school in Hackney, east London, in 2020, after she was wrongly suspected of carrying cannabis.
