A police officer, Christopher Wilson, may face imprisonment for engaging in sexual relations with a crime victim in the disabled lavatory of his station.
PC Christopher Wilson, residing in Cornwall, enquired of the woman if she wished to “engage with a man in uniform” after he approached her while she was reporting a crime she had endured.
The 43-year-old cop, Christopher Wilson, described sexual activity within the police station as “the illicit aspect that enhances the thrill.”
Exeter Crown Court was notified that she accompanied him into the unisex disabled restroom in Launceston, Cornwall, where they engaged in sexual intercourse.
Mr. Wilson transmitted inappropriate texts to the victim following her exit from the police station, stated Mr. James le Grys, the prosecutor.
The officer, Christopher Wilson, stationed in the picturesque town of Saltash in southeast Cornwall, admitted to committing misconduct in public office.
Judge Timothy Rose informed Christopher Wilson that it was probable the officer, presently suspended from Devon and Cornwall Police, would be incarcerated immediately upon his return for sentencing in January.
“You should recognise that the most probable result of this case is an immediate incarceration,” he stated. The court will undoubtedly explore alternative options; but, I do not wish to deceive you. You must return with the understanding that incarceration is a significant priority.
Susannah Stevens, in her defence, stated that Mr. Christopher Wilson did not anticipate the woman would enter the lavatory behind him during the event that occurred on December 2 of the previous year.
She stated, “He ought to have merely taken a statement from her.” He acknowledges that he provoked the sexual remarks.
“He intentionally engaged in misconduct that undermined public trust by participating in sexual activity with a complainant of a criminal offence while on duty and responsible for the appropriate investigation of her allegation,” the complete charge states.
