'I filmed police officer who harassed me'
Charlotte Smith, 28, says she’s faced persistent harassment by a Warwickshire Police officer she met years earlier while known to the force as a potential victim of grooming.
She says Det Sgt Paul Whitehurst pursued a sexual relationship in WhatsApp messages and repeatedly visited her home without invitation.
A BBC investigation has found that women have been failed by investigations into officers accused of abusing their position for sex.
The detective sergeant denied abusing his position for a sexual purpose. He said the messages were not “familiar” to him and he visited Charlotte out of concern for her.
