London force sent three officers at 4.45am, who put her in the back of a van and seized her phone and computer
A woman was arrested by police, who sent a riot van to her door at dawn, after she posted about her ex-partner, a serving Metropolitan police officer, on Facebook.
Sarah* had been alerted by a friend to a post about her former partner that had been made in a local Facebook group linked to “Are we dating the same guy?”. The group is part of a global network of similar Facebook pages used by women to seek information about their partners, and warn others of “red flags” from men they have dated.
Sarah commented on the original post, saying she and her ex-boyfriend were together for almost five years, “and then he cheated on me and gaslit me saying I was wrong”.
She then made her own post in the group, warning other women about her ex-partner. “I was basically just saying that I just want to warn other women,” she said.
