A former police officer has been charged with stalking and misconduct in public office.

Ex-PC Kevin Davis, who worked for Devon and Cornwall Police, is due to appear at Exeter Magistrates' Court on Wednesday following an investigation.

Police said the first charge related to allegations the 41-year-old, from Seaton, pursued a course of action which amounted to stalking a woman between January and May 2025.

The second charge was linked to claims he used a computer to secure unauthorised access to a program or data contrary to section 1(1) and (3) of the Computer Misuse Act 1990 during the same dates as the stalking allegations.
