Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:
“As an example of how female victimhood plays out in public services, this is a very good example. The report is detailed and so one can see the story unfolding. As a couple of women collude in using their supposed victimhood to attack a male colleague.
Surprising to me is that the Panel used common sense. What would surprise people not in public services is the sheer triviality of the accusations that fuelled this investigation and panel. Illustrating the “category creep” whereby such stuff is called “sexual harassment”. I note that the spark for this vendetta appears to have been the accused officers judgement about a DV case. A question that does occur to me, how can a Sergeant continue if the panel has found she is the sort of person to lie and pursue a vendetta against one of her Officers? The rank has an absolutely pivotal role in any force (Oops sorry “service”). But I expect no action will be taken.”
