Ealing Policeman Sacked For Sexual Activity With Child

---

James Evans serving four year sentence after pleading guility to charges

An Ealing police officer who has already been jailed for sexual activity with a child has been sacked.

At the hearing, Police Constable James Evans was proven to have failed to meet the required Standards of Professional Behaviour in respect of: Discreditable Conduct, Honesty and Integrity and Off-Duty Conduct.

This followed his conviction at Isleworth Crown Court on Tuesday, 30 August for six counts of sexual activity. The officer was sentenced to four years imprisonment and life on the Sex Offenders Register.

Assistant Commissioner Helen King, Lead for Professionalism and Chair of the Hearing, said: "The offences PC Evans has been convicted of are very serious, as is reflected in a four year term of imprisonment. He exploited a girl he knew to be vulnerable and, as she knew he was a serving police officer, abused his position.

“Sexual exploitation of young people, particularly by those in positions of power and influence, has long been very seriously under reported. The police service, with other public and third sector bodies, is working exceptionally hard to remove barriers to reporting and undertaking proactive investigations and preventative work to protect young people from such harm.

“For a police officer to commit such offences is inevitably going to have a serious detrimental impact on the confidence of victims and the wider public to report concerns. PC Evans has undermined the work of colleagues to build that trust. Critically he has victimised a young girl and broken the laws he was entrusted to enforce on others. The only outcome in this case is for him to be dismissed without notice. "
