'Devious' Scots cop who trolled female officer from fake account booted off force

A Scots police sergeant who was driven by a hatred of women has been booted off the force after setting up anonymous social media accounts to troll a female officer. British Transport Police Sergeant Connor Phillips used the account to send "inappropriate, upsetting and derogatory" messages to the woman and her friends, as well as referring to her as 'my b****'.

The 28-year-old referred to his victim as "my b****" and even accused her of making bad comments against another officer as he filed an anonymous report to the force's standards committee. Phillips, who transferred from Dundee BTP to London in 2018, resigned from the Force in March 2022 but was formally dismissed following the hearing.

His actions were said to be a "devious, systematic and highly planned attack" which caused significant distress and concern to the woman. A BTP spokesperson said: "The independent misconduct hearing panel took the view that his actions were driven by misogyny and amounted to sexual harassment."
