Bad cop, worse cop: Officers from just one force axed for sex on duty, forging an old lady's will and groping a colleague

A police force has revealed a list of officers who have been fired for misconduct in a bid to be more 'transparent'.

South Yorkshire Police published the information which includes a policeman who forged an elderly woman's will and another who had sex with a 'vulnerable' woman he met while on duty, on its website.

Among other offenders is an officer who assaulted a female colleague and another who tried to recruit models for his photography business while on duty.

Lee Wilcox was sentenced to nine months in jail after abusing his position to have sex with a woman he came across while working.

It was revealed the 45-year-old visited the woman's house when off-duty, but had formed a relationship with her when he was called to a domestic incident at her home.



Jon Webb [above] was put behind bars for six years after being branded 'an utter disgrace to the uniform' for stealing £23,000 from an elderly woman he had befriended and altering her will to make himself the beneficiary of a £400,000 estate.

Other officers, who were not named in announcement, did not face legal repercussions for their offences.

A constable who showed inappropriate photographs to colleagues and 'engaged in sexual discussions' was dismissed alongside another who pursued an 'unauthorised photography business interest'.

South Yorkshire Police has been publishing details of officer dismissals on its website since April and says it will also divulge instances when officers resign in 'disciplinary circumstances'.

The force revealed one PC left voluntarily in March while facing six accusations of misconduct, including harassing a woman, lying about his whereabouts and failing to carry out police enquiries but telling his supervisors they had been completed.

Chief Constable David Crompton said: 'Since April this year, South Yorkshire Police has published information on misconduct hearings to make it easier for the public to see details about officers who are dismissed when serious misconduct is proven.' 'The force is continuing to be open and transparent and I have always said we take integrity matters seriously.'

In February South Yorkshire and Cleveland Police announced plans to disclose details surrounding officers who were dismissed or resigned due to disciplinary circumstances.
