Des O'Connor's daughter loses court challenge over Met Police officer's sexual harassment

Des O’Connor’s daughter has lost a High Court battle after a Metropolitan Police detective who called her “amazingly hot” kept his job. Kristina O’Connor was sexually harassed by Sergeant James Mason after she fell victim to a violent mugging and he was involved in investigating the crime.
