PC Jonathan Simon met his victim while on duty in east London in May 2021.

A Metropolitan Police officer who stalked a woman he met while on duty has been sacked.

PC Jonathan Simon was given a 16-week suspended prison sentence in April but has now been dismissed from the force after his behaviour was classed as gross misconduct. Sentencing him at Westminster Magistrates' Court earlier in the year, district judge Daniel Sternberg said he had brought the Met into disrepute.

The hearing was told how PC Simon began dating his victim after meeting her on duty in May 2021 while attached to the force's east area command. When the woman ended the relationship, the former officer continued to text, call and visit her - sometimes when he was on duty.This included going to her home and workplace unannounced - on one occasion on the false premise her window was unsecured.
