Met Police Officer Axed Over Sexting Scandal
PC Shabul Miah Sacked for Using Work Phone to Chat Up Sex Workers
A Metropolitan Police officer has been dismissed without notice after a misconduct hearing revealed he used his work phone to contact sex workers — even while on duty.
PC Shabul Miah, from the 123, said:
“PC Miah’s use of work-issued equipment for his own personal sexual gratification was deeply inappropriate. I hope this outcome shows we will not tolerate such behaviour and won’t hesitate to take action against those who do not reach the standards we expect from our officers.”
The panel also noted Miah’s actions would likely bring discredit on the Metropolitan Police and undermine public confidence in the force.
This sacking comes as the Met struggles to rebuild trust and boost accountability inside its ranks.
