A police inspector remarked about a junior officer's breasts at a leaving do before suggesting he should "sniff" another colleague's bike seat. Simon Gee, described as a "creep" by a colleague, has been sacked by Cumbria Police after his lewd comments were described as a "throwback to a sexist or misogynistic past".
The comments were made during a night out in Lancaster, where officers were attending goodbye drinks at the Sun Hotel in September 2021. Gee, who was in charge of a Kendal-based team of Cumbria Police officers, was described as acting in a "very vulgar and coarse" way following a misconduct hearing.
The panel heard that Gee had been drinking on the train from Cumbria to Lancaster ahead of the gathering, Lancs Live reports. Having continued boozing during the evening, he told a junior officer wearing a low cut top a comment to the effect of "I see you’ve come with the boys out".
