A former Metropolitan Police officer described as a “sexual predator who used his position to take advantage of vulnerable women” has been found to have committed gross misconduct after pursuing inappropriate relationships with two vulnerable women who he met during welfare checks.
Former PC Philip Hunter previously worked in the Diplomatic Protection unit, the same unit as Wayne Couzens and David Carrick. The panel found he was a “planned and well-rehearsed sexual predator who used his position to take advantage of vulnerable women”.
Thom Dyke represented the Metropolitan Police in the proceedings against Former PC Hunter. Thom is ranked in the Legal 500 for police law and is regularly instructed to advise and represent police forces in cases of gross misconduct.
