EXCLUSIVE: More shame for Met Police as officers accused of appearing in porn, paying for prostitutes and sexual communications with a child

A male police officer is facing misconduct proceedings amid allegations that he took part in pornographic livestreams in which he was "paid to perform sex acts."

The Met Police officer, whose identity has been protected, is due to face the allegations at a misconduct hearing in south east London tomorrow, March 20 2025.

A notice published ahead of the hearing states: "It is alleged, whilst a serving officer, Officer A has been active on a number of pornographic live streaming websites in which they have performed sex acts in exchange for tokens which can be withdrawn for cash.

"Furthermore, it is alleged that Officer A has received financial reward for performing sex acts on live streaming websites."

It is said that the behaviour breached the "standards of professional behaviour as set out in the Regulation 5 and Schedule 2 of the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2020 namely: Discreditable conduct and duties and responsibilities, in that his conduct may bring the police service into disrepute and damage the relationship of trust and confidence between the police and the public.'

The case is likely to heap further embarrassment on the force which has seen a string of misconduct hearings concerning the sexual behaviour of officers over the past few years.

It follows the case of former PC Samantha Lee, who set up an OnlyFans account, selling pornographic content, while she was still employed by the force.

It was after she was investigated for bungling two indecent exposures committed by killer cop Wayne Couzens just hours before he kidnapped, raped and murdered Sarah Everard in March 2021.

In May 2023 Lee was barred from policing after being found guilty of gross misconduct in connection with the botched probes.

On the same day Officer A's case was published on Tuesday<March18>there were two other notices published about cases that will bring more shame on the force.

On March 28 at the same misconduct centre PC Shabul Miah will face allegations that he used his Met issued mobile phone to contact sex workers and engage in their services, including on some occasions when he was on duty.

In December 2022 a misconduct hearing was held for former police officer Hassan Mahmood, which heard that he visited a sex worker to use her "services", then hit her in the face her home with the £140 he had just paid her for sex during the lockdown, breaching the regulations.

He was placed on the barred list of officers following the hearing that concluded he would have been dismissed without notice had he not resigned.

In September 2023, a senior Scotland Yard officer was allowed to keep his job despite regularly using prostitutes.

In a further case published on Tuesday, it was revealed that PC Elvis Moreira will face accusations that he engaged in inappropriate and sexual communications with a child, at a hearing in Sutton Police Station on March 24.

The notice said: "This is a historic allegation that occurred from 2019 to 2020.

"It is alleged that this conduct, if proven, individually and/or cumulatively amounts to gross misconduct and his dismissal may be justified."

In 2023 Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley vowed the rid the force of "bad apples" involved in sexual misconduct, saying there were hundreds of officers on the force who had no place in policing.

It was after Baroness Casey published a damning report on culture's within the force, which branded it institutionally misogynistic and racist.

Sir Mark warned that things would get worse before they got better as details of the officers' alleged behaviour became public.
