Cop Axed for Sexually Charged Pub Shenanigans
A Night Out Turns Nasty
A Hampshire & Isle of Wight police officer has been sacked after making unwelcome sexual advances on two male colleagues during a boozy work night at a Wetherspoons in Ryde.
PC Tia Johnson-Warne, then in her mid-20s, was caught red-handed touching one officer’s leg and sending explicit texts asking, “Don’t you want to f**k me?” She also sent a revealing photo. When told she was already dating another officer, PC Kane Brookes, she carried on.
The antics didn’t stop there. Later, she groped a second officer’s crotch for around 20 seconds. The victims were left awkward and uncomfortable.
Gross Misconduct Guilty Verdict
After an internal hearing, Johnson-Warne was found guilty of gross misconduct for her inappropriate touching. She was cleared of claims she groped an officer in a car.
“It is deeply troubling that an officer has acted in such a shameful manner,” said Deputy Chief Constable Sam De Reya. “Nobody should feel degraded by a colleague’s actions, on or off duty.”
“Her persistent unwanted advances damaged working relationships and caused harm. The public expects better from our force.”
Fired and Barred for Good
Johnson-Warne was promptly dismissed and added to the College of Policing’s Barred List, banning her from future police work.
“Her unprofessional behaviour undermines the great work our officers do every day across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight,” added DCC De Reya.
This high-profile sacking drives home the message: police officers must uphold strict professional standards, whether on or off duty.
