PC says it was 'impossible' for him to have sex with abuse victim

A police officer has told a jury that it was "impossible" for him to have had a sexual relationship with an abuse victim.

The defendant said that this had coincided with him going through a breakup with the mother of his children, adding: "On one or two of the visits, I was offered coffee at the house. I said yes, I wasn't missing any work. Hoyle stated that he had visited her home "no more than 15 times, all on duty" and that "some of those would have been very quick, in and out". Mr Tettey said: "She described that relationship becoming sexual and you having sex in her property with her every few days over that period, is it possible that you could be absent from your duties for prolonged periods of time?""They need to deal with emergencies. So no, absolutely not."Hoyle responded: "No.

"I was having a bit of trouble with my family in Burnley, where I'm from. My granddad was a bit of a parental figure growing up, he had cancer at the time. "When he decided to react, he was quite violent unfortunately. I remember being assaulted myself trying to split it up." "I've already lost my job, there's a custodial sentence at the end of it. I don't stand to benefit from anything."

During the court's afternoon session, Hoyle "100 per cent" agreed that he had "breached professional standards" by "forming a friendship with a vulnerable victim". But Mr Swift said: "But it was more than that, wasn't it? "There was enough time to go to her address and have a cup of coffee. I was there long enough to have a conversation and a cup of coffee with her."

However, no evidence was found of him having recorded further information on her case on these occasions. Hoyle was said to have gone on to "exploit her vulnerability" by kissing her and touching her on her breasts and bottom. He was then said to have used force systems to access information in relation to this same complainant on three dates in June and November 2019, which was "not for legitimate policing purposes". The defendant had no longer been involved in investigations relating to her complaint at these times.
