A police officer has been sacked for abusing his position to start a sexual relationship with a vulnerable woman last February.

A PSNI officer has been sacked for abusing his position to initiate a sexual relationship with a woman he knew to be vulnerable .
It follows a Police Ombudsman investigation which found that the officer had “demonstrated exploitative behaviour” by establishing the relationship after calling at the woman’s home in response to a report of concern for her safety.
The woman, who had been recorded on police systems as being in a vulnerable state of mind, said she believed she had been targeted due to that vulnerability and “used” by the officer.
The PSNI accepted a Police Ombudsman recommendation that the allegations against the officer should be heard at a misconduct hearing.
