Following a two-day trial at Folkestone Magistrates Court a district judge found Police Constable (PC) Deborah Sands, aged 46, guilty of assault for use of PAVA spray, which is an incapacitant, and PC Kris Green, 35, guilty of assault for a knee strike to the head. Sentencing was adjourned until 26 January. Both officers had denied the charges. It follows our investigation of the officers’ use of force against the girl, who was detained during an incident in East Sussex on Tuesday 19 May.
