Fellow officer PC Ben Jeffries is said to have made "inappropriate and discourteous comments" to the same female officer concerning her sexuality and Romanian heritage.
The officers appeared at Sutton Police Station yesterday for the opening of a misconduct hearing expected to last ten days.
Sansom and Jeffries face allegations that their conduct amounted to a breach of the Standards of Professional Behaviour in respect of Discreditable Conduct, Authority, Respect and Courtesy and Equality and Diversity.
Russell Ford, for the Met Police, told the hearing PC Sansom invited the female officer to pull my finger at Wembley Police Station.
He said: "When she declined he passed wind in her face from around 10-15 cm away."
PC Sansom "agrees to the 'pull my finger remark" but denies he actually broke wind.
Mr Ford added: "He fully accepts his attempt at humour was misplaced and inappropriate in a modern policing workplace.
"PC Sansom approached her and asked her to pull his finger, she knew what was intended and told him to move along.
"At this, PC Sansom turned his back, stood on his toes and passed wind in her face."
Mr Ford said the incident was "corroborated" by another female officer at the time.
"He described how after he asked the PC to pull his finger, PC Sansom, in close proximity, turned away from her and passed wind very loudly - then laughed out loud and walked away."

Mr Ford then referred to an occasion in mid-December 2021 when the female officer described assisting on a call-out involving "Romanian people who did not speak English" with PC Sansom.
He added: "Back in the writing room, PC Sansom complained about the Romanians, referring to them as 'f***ing d***heads'."
The female officer replied: "That's OK Wayne everyone knows you don't like Romanian people."
PC Sansom allegedly replied: "That's not true…I would put my dick in you."
He is also accused of asking the female officer "questions about her sexuality" and "calling her a lesbian".
PC Sansom claims that he only asked the officer "once" about her sexuality after hearing rumours circulate about his colleagues' personal life.
The hearing was told that Sansom was concerned that this could lead to her being "unfairly treated or talked about".
Meanwhile, Sutton Police Station heard how PC Jeffries is said to have made "discourteous remarks" to the same female officer about her sexuality.
"This included asking her personal questions of a sexual nature, asking about rimming and asking if she had gone down on someone and asking if someone had gone down on," said Mr Ford.
PC Jeffries allegedly took a picture of his testicles using the female officer's mobile phone at an Extinction Rebellion protest on 25 August 2021.
She had asked PC Jeffries and a colleague if they could get her some water from a nearby shop, and handed over her mobile telephone so they could use her Apple Pay.
Mr Ford said: "When they returned, they were laughing as they approached, and she assumed they had done something to her phone.
"When PC Jeffries handed her back her phone, she opened it and noticed that the last application used was the camera.
"She looked at the last photographs taken and saw what she believed to be a testicle.
"She said: 'That's disgusting', and he (Jeffries) replied: 'Why are you getting offended? It's just a picture of my balls."
Jeffriesalso faces accusations that he made "discourteous remarks motivated by race" about a second female colleague at Wembley Police Station in 2019.
"She says that PC Fitzpatrick invited her to take a seat, whereupon PC Jeffries said to her 'no, take a knee'.
"That remark, the authorities say, was no doubt a reference to a gesture used by the Black Lives Matter movement."
Mr Ford told the hearing of a second incident in which the female officer went to open a door at the police station to find PC Jeffries holding it shut as a joke.
"When he released the door, he laughed and said to her words along the lines of: 'I thought you were going to start screaming Black Lives Matter'."
The female officer was "annoyed and upset about this remark" and recalled another occasion when PC Jeffries pretending to light-heartedly punch her and then said: "Oh, Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter!"
Both officers could face the sack if the allegations against them are proved as gross misconduct.
The hearing continues.

Children at Welsh Scouts camp 'abused' after being mistaken for migrants

Children visiting a Scouts camp in Wales were subjected to racist abuse after being mistaken for migrants. Police are investigating after a bus travelling from Scotland and carrying the group to the CRAI activity park in Newbridge in Caerphilly was spotted by members of the public who mistook them for illegal settlers on August 6. Footage of the bus was posted to various Facebook groups, before being removed from social media. After it had been posted, the footage attracted racist comments, reports WalesOnline. The misinformation was fuelled by the fact police had been seen at the site previously, however this was because Gwent Police carried out dog handling training at the site when Scouts weren't using it. Detective Chief Superintendent Jason White, of Gwent Police, said: "We're aware of several posts responding to a social media video published earlier this week in relation to a visiting Scouts group to Newbridge. "The video was removed but some of the posts contained inappropriate and offensive language and enquiries into the nature of the posts are ongoing. "While that work takes place, there are some mistruths circulating on social media which we'd like to correct. "The group featured in the video were visiting from another part of the country to attend a frequently used Scout camp in Newbridge and many of the people in the video are children. "The site is not used to house anyone on a permanent basis. The site is used by our dog handlers to train our police dogs when not used for visits and our officers are not guarding the location. "So with that in mind we're asking everyone to consider the tone and sentiment of their language but also for people to think twice about what they might read online and look for trusted voices within our communities. "If you do have concerns then you can call us on 101, send us a message on social media, make a report via our website or speak to one of our officers if you see them."

They said: "CRAI Scout Activity Park is an inclusive and welcoming campsite and activity centre in the South Wales Valleys offering a range of outdoor activities for youth and community groups. "We are aware of a racially aggravated incident targeting under-18s who were leaving after visiting our activity centre and we are working closely with the police to address this situation. "We are committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of everyone on site and will continue to take immediate and robust action against any behaviour that threatens this."

FA imposes eight-week ban on former referee Coote for Klopp comments

Aug 12 (Reuters) - Former Premier League referee David Coote was sanctioned and given an eight-week ban by the Football Association on Tuesday in relation to comments he made about former Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp in a video that went viral last year. Coote had been sacked by English soccer referees' body PGMOL after a video, recorded in July 2020, circulated on social media showing the official allegedly abusing Klopp and after a full investigation, his position was deemed untenable. The 43-year-old was charged by the FA in June and an independent Regulatory Commission has now imposed an eight-week suspension and mandatory face-to-face education programme on him. Coote had admitted the charge. "It was alleged that contrary to FA Rule E3.1 the referee acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words about Jurgen Klopp in a video that was recorded around July 2020 and appeared on social media in November 2024," the FA said. "It was also alleged that his actions constitute an 'Aggravated Breach', which is defined in FA Rule E3.2, as they included a reference – whether express or implied – to nationality." Europe's soccer governing body also said Coote was banned from any UEFA refereeing activity until June 2026. Coote has apologised for his actions. The Sun also published a video which the newspaper said showed Coote appearing to snort white powder during his time working as a match official at Euro 2024.
