A former Avon and Somerset PC Alexander Alderson has been barred from the profession after a misconduct hearing was held for breaching the code of conduct set out for police officers.
Alexander Alderson had sex with a woman who he knew was vulnerable and bragged about other affairs. The woman, referred to in the hearing as Miss L, is a survivor of domestic abuse and suffers from mental health and PTSD. Alexander Alderson met Miss L online and went to her home to engage in rape simulation, called consensual non-consensual sex.
Alexander Alderson admitted breaching the professional codes of standards for police officers. In addition to the rape simulation, the court also heard that the former PC took inappropriate images of himself whilst wearing his police uniform on the second of January last year, and sent the photos to three vulnerable women. Alexander Alderson also sent a series of explicit and degrading text messages to the woman, where he also revealed other sexual encounters he had had with other women.
Alexander Alderson had resigned from the police force in May last year, however, Chief Constable Sarah Crew, who chaired the hearing, announced that he would have been sacked without notice had he not already left.
The hearing earlier found his actions amounted to gross misconduct. Alexander Alderson is barred from serving in the police force or law enforcement ever again.
