A Met police detective who kept his job after telling a victim she was “amazingly hot” made inappropriate comments about female colleagues, saying he “would do anything for an attractive officer”, a court has heard.

The further allegations against DCI James Mason have emerged after Kristina O’Connor brought a legal challenge to the decision not to dismiss him for sending her inappropriate messages after he responded to her report of an attempted robbery.
