A constable who tried to have sex with a woman who reported a crime has been fired after probe into his lewd behaviour.
PC Matthew Peall, who had sent hundreds of flirty messages to a witness asking if she had a 'high sex drive' and if she was 'up for everything', was found to have committed gross misconduct.
He badgered the care home employee who reported the burglary of an elderly client with frequent text messages, emails and phone calls both on and off duty - which made her 'uncomfortable'.
The married cop, who worked for Kent Police, allegedly told the woman in 2019 'it would just be for sex' after she highlighted that he had a wife and children, adding 'it's sex, nothing more, you know my situation', it was reported.
A panel at the Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) proved at the end of a three-day disciplinary hearing that PC Peall had breached the police professional standards of behaviour relating to honesty and integrity, authority, respect and courtesy, duties and responsibilities, and discreditable conduct.
