Insp Gary Pinner – British Transport Police,

The Former Officer met Officer A in 2017 whilst the officer was serving with Hertfordshire Constabulary performing the role of Custody Officer at Stevenage.

Shortly after meeting Officer A, the Former Officer transferred to British Transport Police.

At times there was a power imbalance between the Former Officer and Officer A because the Former Officer was more senior in rank than Officer A.

In about 2017 the Former Officer and Officer A began to exchange messages via social media.

Officer A disclosed personal information which led officer B to realise that they were vulnerable.

From about February 2018 until January 2019 the Former Officer attempted to initiate and/or form an emotional and/or sexual relationship with Officer A.

Between about February 2018 to January 2019 the Former Officer used the power imbalance and/or their knowledge of the vulnerability to initiate and/or control an emotional and/or sexual relationship with Officer A.

In 2019 the Former Officer made inappropriate derogatory and/or sexualised comments to Officer A about Officer B.

In 2019 the Former Officer referred a member of the public who had jumped off a bridge on to the railway tracks as a “twat”.
