A police officer has been found guilty of battery after he struck a child who was in custody in the face.
Thames Valley Police sergeant Matthew Myers hit the 16-year-old boy and made him strip naked, the Independent Office for Police Conduct said.
The watchdog said he abused his position as a custody sergeant last year in Banbury, Oxfordshire.
The 49-year-old was sentenced to a community order and 200 hours unpaid work at Luton Magistrates Court.
During the incident on 4 January 2020 the boy, who was in care and did not speak English as a first language, was left naked until a detention officer came into the cell to assist him.
