A police officer who made up ‘lies’ about her ex boyfriend which left to him being losing his job has avoided an immediate jail sentence. A “jealous” and “resentful” police officer who invented a “web of lies” about her former boyfriend who was a sergeant on the force abusing her has been spared prison.
Pc Amanda Aston, 44, reported Matthew Taylor for controlling and coercive behaviour after their eight-month relationship broke down in 2017.
Mr Taylor was charged with domestic abuse and imprisoned in March 2018 for two months after Aston “encouraged” him to get back with her – and then reported him for breaching bail conditions forbidding him from contacting her. He lost his job at Surrey Police where he had worked with Aston, a mother of one.
