A horrified mother who had her underwear stolen by a police officer has told how the 'nightmare' left her suffering sleepless nights and months of emotional distress.
Marcin Zielinski, 27, was caught rifling through Lea-Ann Sullivan's drawers before grabbing a pair of underwear and slipping them into his back pocket during a visit to the property on September 12, 2024.
The Hertfordshire Constabulary officer admitted one charge of theft and a charge of corrupt/improper exercise of police powers and privileges by a constable and was jailed for four months on Monday.
While his sentencing has brought some 'closure', Lea-Ann is still reeling from the horrific year-long ordeal and has left her trust for the police at an all-time low.
'I think I've cried, I've laughed, I've been angry. I feel vulnerable, feel scared. I just think I feel sick about the whole situation,' the mother-of-two told the Daily Mail.
