A police disciplinary tribunal is to hear claims a sergeant had sex with junior colleagues in police stations while on duty.
Adam Reed, a former police sergeant with South Wales police, is also facing disciplinary charges over allegedly secretly taking photos of a female colleague’s feet.
He is said to have engaged in sexual activity with PC Jemma Dicks, as well as with a community support officer, and is due to answer to three alleged breaches of conduct next week in relation to authority, respect and courtesy, duties and responsibilities, and discreditable conduct.
It is alleged that on 9 October 2018, Reed, 40, used his mobile phone to take the clandestine photos of the feet of an officer from the force’s professional standards department while on duty at Cardiff central police station. He allegedly later confessed he had a foot fetish.
Police forces now have to hold most disciplinary hearings in public and issue public notices announcing them. The notice by South Wales police reads that the female officer from professional standards was taking a statement from Dicks in Reed’s office when the incident happened.
It says: “Whilst this officer was sitting in his office addressing that matter he used his mobile telephone to take a number of photographs of her feet. He did so covertly and without her consent. He has since disclosed that he did so because he has a foot fetish.”
Cardiff central police station was the location where Reed and Dicks engaged in sexual activity while on duty, between November 2017 and August 2018, according to South Wales police.
Reed is also accused on 29 May 2018 of having sex with a police community support officer at the station while on duty.
Dicks faces formal charges of discreditable conduct and breaching his responsibilities and duties as a police constable. The disciplinary hearings for both Reed and Dicks will be held on 10 August in Pencoed, Bridgend.
