Police officer visited swinger while on duty
A former police officer had sex with a woman he met on a swingers' website while on duty. PC Stuart Greaney would have been sacked had he not already resigned, said a Hertfordshire Police misconduct panel. The officer admitted knowing the woman and going to her home but denied having sex with her. However, the panel found the woman was telling the truth and there was enough evidence to believe the meeting had taken place as alleged. The officer joined the Metropolitan Police in March 2009 and transferred to Hertfordshire Constabulary in December 2022. He met a woman referred to by the panel as 'Ms A' on a swingers' website. Following an exchange of messages he drove to her address on 16 June 2023 using his police motorcycle and wearing his police uniform. Mr Greaney met Ms A at about 14:24 BST, more than 30 minutes before his shift was finished. The panel said once there he engaged in consensual intercourse with the woman, despite being on duty, and was at the address for about 20 minutes. Ms A told the panel she felt "used and angry" when he stopped visiting her and seemingly sought out other women on the site. Exactly a year after their meeting, 16 June 2024, Mr Greaney left the force and did not engage with the disciplinary process. The panel concluded he had committed gross misconduct and his name was added to the police barring list, meaning he can never again work in policing.

Betsi Cadwaladr patient given hysterectomy without informed consent
Multiple failings led to a patient with Crohn's disease having a hysterectomy without giving informed consent, an ombudsman has found. The woman, in her early 40s, said it has left her feeling like a "shadow" of her former self, as the procedure means she will not be able to have were made by the patient, who is known as Ms A and is from north Wales, against Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Shillabeer, CEO of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, apologised for the patient's "poor experience". Over the course of three years, the Public Service Ombudsman for Wales said there had been "serious failings" that had caused the patient a "significant injustice".The ombudsman, Michelle Morris, has called for a review to be carried out by Betsi Cadwaladr, which commissioned the care, Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation, which carried out the treatment. Care for Ms A began in 2016 when, following a history of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease), she had her large bowel removed at Ysbyty Glan was then referred to Liverpool University Hospital for further treatment in 2022, following three years of various tests and treatments, Ms A, who has no children, underwent further surgery at Liverpool Women's this, a total hysterectomy was performed - a procedure where the womb is removed resulting in the inability to become to Ms A, it was not until the morning of the surgery that she was made aware that a hysterectomy may be performed as part of the ombudsman found Ms A had not given informed consent for the extensive surgery, which she described as a "serious failing"."Patients need to have proper time to understand the procedure and its possible consequences and the concern I have following is that she really didn't have those conversations before she was asked to sign a consent form, you know, literally at the last minute before she went into surgery," she said. "She should have been warned that it was possible that during the surgery they would have to perform a full hysterectomy, and that's obviously a very serious possible consequence."In the end it did happen, so that's a serious failing on the part of that English health trust."The impact on Ms A both physically and psychologically has been significant. Ms A has been left devastated as she wanted to have children, and she grieves the loss of that opportunity."As part of her evidence given to the ombudsman, Ms A said the treatment had left her feeling "a shadow" of her former added she now "avoids people" for fear of "bursting into tears" when they ask her about her health. The ombudsman's report also raised concerns over the way in which Betsi Cadwaladr health board had monitored the care Ms A was receiving in England after staff had commissioned it."This lady is a patient of theirs (Betsi Cadwaladr health board). She's a resident in their area, and they are responsible for her health care," the ombudsman added."They don't divest themselves of that responsibility when they refer a patient to another trust, as happened in this case."Marianne Radcliffe is chief executive of Crohn's and Colitis UK, a charity which supports people diagnosed with these said they hear regularly from women whose pain is "minimised or dismissed"."It's awful to hear about Ms A's experience and the repeated failings in her care," she said."Many women living with Crohn's and Colitis have concerns about the impact of the conditions on their ability to have a family."This awful case highlights the importance of services and specialities working together. "It is only by listening to women and remembering we are all more than a collection of symptoms that everyone will get the care they deserve."Dr Jim Gardner, group chief medical officer for NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool Group, which runs the Royal Liverpool University Hospital and Liverpool Women's Hospital, said: "On behalf of NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool Group, I apologise for the failings identified in the report and I acknowledge the profound effects they have had, and continue to have, on the patient and her family."This was a very complex case involving multiple clinicians and departments across several hospitals. "We have already made improvements, and we will ensure that the lessons learned from this are shared with our clinical teams to prevent something like this happening again." Carol Shillabeer, CEO of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, said it had already made improvements and will learn from this case. "It is essential for the health of our population, we work with other health boards and trusts," she said."It is clear we need to improve our oversight arrangements for these commissioned services and we fully accept the Ombudsman's findings."

Married detective slept with junior staff and bragged about being a ‘sugar daddy'
A married detective responsible for sex cases slept with junior police staff and bragged about being a 'sugar daddy', a tribunal has heard. Det Ch Insp Roger Wood is accused of exploiting two staff after he boasted to them about his 'rank, importance and power'. He faces two charges of gross misconduct for engaging in inappropriate emotional relationships with two women named as Ms A and Ms B. The officer, of Hampshire Police, also faces a charge of excessive communications with Ms B. Mr Wood had been a police officer for 16 years when he resigned in February 2024 and was nationally recognised for his work on sexual offences investigations and online predators. He met the trainee police staff investigator Ms A at a domestic abuse conference in March 2023 and they flirted with each other, the hearing in Eastleigh, Hampshire was told. They met again the next day at a police station in Basingstoke. Mr Wood joked he was 'stalking' Ms A and told her the case he was investigating was 'only a murder when I say it is'. 'Exchanged flirtatious messages' Afterwards Ms A messaged Mr Wood on LinkedIn and the pair exchanged a 'large number of flirtatious messages' including naked photos from Ms A, Jason Beer KC, counsel for Hampshire Police, told the hearing. The senior officer responded to one of the nude images by offering to be Ms A's 'sugar daddy' and suggesting they make their own naked pictures when they met up. Mr Wood had been warned by three other colleagues that Ms A was vulnerable and struggling at work. But a few days later he drove to her home in Oxfordshire and the pair had sex. The hearing was told Ms A was at her lowest when she met Mr Wood and on medication for anxiety and depression following a relationship breakdown. Mr Wood denies any breach of conduct and says he went to Ms A's house to tell her he did not want to have a relationship with her. Between May 2022 and April 2023 he was a senior adviser to the Police and Crime Commissioner and he met a young staff member, referred to only as Ms B, in August 2022. Their relationship developed through Microsoft Teams with 9,965 messages exchanged between the pair over eight months. Ms B told him she had ADHD, 'crippling anxiety and had been bullied in her previous job'. Mr Wood asked Ms B to knit him socks with 'world's best detective' on them, said 'I am the SIO [Senior Investigating Officer] everyone wants' and told her he was 'too important' to attend a violence against women and girls meeting, Mr Beer KC said.
