A Slough police officer who 'sexually exploited' a suspect has admitted to misconduct in public office. PC Matthew Lynch, 36 and based at Slough, admitted to forming a personal relationship with a suspect after he had arrested her. He had sexual contact with the woman during the course of the criminal investigation - for which he was officer in charge - from March until June 2021. IOPC interviewed the police officer, examined his mobile phones and obtained statements from several witnesses, including the woman he had been investigating. IOPC 'will now liaise' with TVP to progress an accelerated misconduct hearing for the officer.
