A former police officer has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison after engaging in sexual activity while on duty, in a shocking breach of trust. Jordan Masterson, 28, turned off his body camera before having sex with a woman while responding to a 999 call at her home in Widnes, Cheshire, on 28 December, 2021.

The incident came to light during a trial earlier this year, where Masterson was found guilty of misconduct in a public office. The court heard how Masterson, a probationary police constable at the time, arrived at the woman’s residence in response to reports of a disturbance. Despite the presence of the woman’s children asleep in the house, Masterson’s actions escalated beyond the scope of his duty.
