A police officer has been dismissed without notice after being accused of "motorboating" a woman while dancing in a nightclub where he touched and rubbed his face in her breasts.
PC James Pentland, of Northumbria Police, reported by a woman known as Ms A, 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.
