A Northumbria police officer has been dismissed without notice after "motorboating" a woman while dancing at a nightclub.
PC James Pentland was accused by a woman, known as Ms A, of touching the breasts / breast area and rubbing his face into her breast area. He denied the accusation, claiming he had held up his hands in front of her and moved them in a "jazzing type manner".
Following a misconduct hearing, a panel found that the officer did carry out the act, which is commonly known as "motorboating". They also found he had inappropriately placed the woman's arm up her back, after she slapped him around the face.
