A police officer sued Merseyside Police after a colleague whistled 'Dolly Parton' songs at him over his working hours.
PC Stephen Knox has lost a sexual harassment claim after a colleague at Speke police station covered his desk in Dolly Parton photographs because he only worked from 9am to 5pm. PC Knox, a father-of-four, worked nine to five hours so he could care for his children and for his elderly mother.
PC Knox claimed his friend, identified only as PC Rylands, teased him about his hours between November 2016 and January 2017. An employment tribunal report, published on Tuesday, said: "It struck [PC Rylands] as remarkable that PC Knox had been able to secure a nine to five shift pattern within the Target Team.
