Former Gwent Police officers swapped leaked images of a naked female footballer and commented on "sex pests" in the force, according to texts newly unearthed by the Sunday Times. It comes a week after the newspaper revealed other messages from Gwent officers including racist, sexist and misogynistic comments.
Ricky Jones — who spent 26 years as a police officer, mostly in Gwent, before retirement — died in 2020, before his eldest daughter Emma looked through his iPhone and found evidence of a culture of "sexual harassment of junior female colleagues" and corruption in the force, according to the Sunday Times.
Now the newspaper has reported on more messages from serving and former Gwent police officers. These reportedly include two retired officers exchanging leaked nude images of the US footballer Hope Solo.
