A Met Police officer has been sacked after a disciplinary panel slammed him for controlling behaviour, serious sexual offences, and an attempt to sabotage an investigation.
Grover-Sutton Found Guilty on Five Charges
Police Constable George Grover-Sutton, formerly with the Met’s elite MO19 firearms unit, was found guilty of all five allegations on 26 February. The panel delivered a damning verdict against him.
“This officer’s behaviour was utterly unacceptable and a grave breach of the standards the public rightly expect. His actions caused significant harm to a colleague and dented trust in policing,” said Chief Superintendent Rachel Walmsley, head of the firearms unit.
Control, Coercion, and Harassment
Over several months, Grover-Sutton harassed a serving PC he was in a relationship with. He controlled her movements, monitored her private messages, and restricted who she could speak to—wrecking her ability to work effectively.
Sexual Misconduct and Cover-Up Attempt
The panel heard the officer forced sexual acts on the victim without consent, blatantly ignoring her refusals. He also pressured her to lie to investigators in a bid to cover his tracks. This shocking attempt to pervert the course of justice sealed his fate.
Dismissed Without Notice and Banned for Life
Grover-Sutton was dismissed immediately for gross misconduct. He will be added to the College of Policing’s barred list, banning him for life from any future role in policing.
