Sussex Police intelligence unit officer nabbed in sex for secrets swap<\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday 24 February 2016 a disciplinary hearing at Sussex Police Headquarters sacked without notice PC Forrest Knight after hearing how he betrayed the public’s trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tribunal was headed by Assistant Chief Constable Robin Smith and Detective Superintendent Alan Hibbett.<\/span><\/p>\n

ACC Smith said;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Justice must be seen to be done and this hearing must be scrupulously fair, open and transparent.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The tribunal heard how PC Knight had abused his position to access Police records to check on his estranged wife and her new lover who Knight believed had a criminal record.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sussex Police intelligence officer<\/span><\/h2>\n

PC Knight was later introduced by his wife to another women, mysteriously named ‘Miss. B’ by the tribunal.<\/span><\/p>\n

PC Knight claimed he’d had sex with ‘Miss B’ but denied supplying information in his possession to her.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tribunal dismissed PC Knight without notice for gross misconduct.<\/span><\/p>\n

PC Knight, 48, had joined the Police in 2004 and had served for nine years without blemish until he joined the intelligence unit two years ago. <\/span><\/p>\n

Within a week his problems started and he asked the Mental health Team for support during the break up of his marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n

PC Knight said he was still taking medication and when pressed by Superintendent Hibbett replied;<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t recall doing that. I was not thinking clearly. I don’t know sir.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The tribunal further heard he had used surveillance software for mobiles and computers to bug his ex wife.<\/span><\/p>\n

His supervisors, aware of his actions issued his with warning notices in 2013 and 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n

PC Knight said;\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I was at a vulnerable stage. I didn’t get any support. My ex wife was going to get me done over.<\/span><\/p>\n

ACC Smith replied;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m struggling to believe you.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
