A Merseyside Police constable sacked after being convicted of stalking a fellow officer - causing her to move home - moaned on social media about the force being a "hostile workplace for males".
Former PC Stuart Descombes, from Wallasey, was found guilty of gross misconduct after an accelerated misconduct hearing chaired by Chief Constable Serena Kennedy. The officer was dismissed without notice, and has been placed on the College of Policing Barred List prohibiting him from working in any policing role in future.
Descombes had stood trial at Manchester Magistrates' Court in March and was convicted of stalking PC Anita Kosnik over a period running from April to June, 2022, in areas including Wallasey Police Station, Manor Road and other areas in Wirral. According to the charge, he "pursued a course of conduct which amounted to the stalking of Anita Kosnik and which he knew or ought to have known amounted to the harassment of her in that you sent her unwanted contact in various forms of communication, attended her home address and her place of work."
