A Merseyside Police sergeant was caught running a WhatsApp group titled 'Would you Wouldn't you' containing dozens of secretly taken pictures of his female colleagues, the ECHO can exclusively reveal.
Some of the photos shared in the group allegedly showed the backsides and crotch areas of female officers or staff as they went about their duties, and the ECHO understands around 12 women in the force have been identified as being pictured. The officer has not been suspended and is still working, albeit on restricted duties, more than a year after the allegations came to light.
Merseyside Police confirmed that a misconduct hearing into the behaviour of two officers will be held at a date to be set, and said it could not comment on the specifics of the case while proceedings were ongoing. The force confirmed both officers were on restricted duties while disciplinary procedures take place.
