A female police officer has been dismissed after she vexatiously complained about her colleague, a man who she was in a relationship with, after denying their relationship when he sent her a sexually explicit video

interestingly enough its the feminists who objected to the police obtaining text messages in relation to accusations relating to a sexual matter.

Femininism: destroying due process and fair justice day by day...

And I'm sure she was already a sergeant after only 3 years because she was qualified . . . /s

One would think that as an officer herself she would know that lying to authorities and giving a false statement can have consequences.

In my career, I've been directly involved in 3 different harassment complaints, not directed at me but close enough that I was an insider.

First: a guy who worked for me was dating a coworker. Her fiance (big surprise to my guy) found an explicit text message and she was suddenly filling a complaint for sexual harassment. Problem was their relationship was well documented.

Second: a woman who had a huge anger management problem had a full rage meltdown when her boss told her she couldn't treat people the way she did. She said and I quote "fuck you, I quit!" And stormed out. Whole office heard it. She called HR from the parking lot and said "I couldn't take the harassment any more".

Third: married couple worked in the same department, they had a bad breakup. She thought the number of complaints she filed against him both at work and by police would help her divorce position. She ended up being fired for harassing him.

Of the only three incidents I know the absolute facts of, all of them were maliciously false. So yeah, when I hear complaints that I don't know anything about, my initial reaction is doubt. Because that's been my experience.

I shudder imagining the media trial, the guy would have faced, if the message wasn't discovered and he was found guilty in the investigation. The world would have discovered another "queen" who needs to be crowned and funded ASAP.

As I read the article, it seems to imply that Ms. Spayne and Officer G were in a relationship for a few months until she was dumped by Officer G, but he then sent her an explicit video and she complained, but she lied about the relationship.

It's not clear the timing, but isn't sending an unsolicited explicit video considered a basis for harassment and so Ms. Spayne might have a case if they were no longer together when she received the unsolicited video? In that situation, why would lying about a prior relationship have any relevance to the case itself? Lying itself is obviously a serious offense in the police service, but it seems to overshadow the case itself and normally sexual history is not pertinent to current misconduct.

I'm just curious about the standing of harassment charges when explicit videos are provided unsolicited and whether a case depends on the relationship status between the participants at the time, considering relationship status doesn't preclude harassment, rape, assault, abuse, etc normally.

Not that I believe an unsolicited explicit video is harassment, regardless of relationship status, since future receipt can be blocked: it's merely an inconvenience like being asked for consent for sex the first time by someone new we are not interested in; we understand that biology motivates people to pursue sex, so its an expected part of life. It's only harassment if it persists after a rejection. However, the trending view of women seems to be that even the first approach is harassment if they are not interested, or that men in general are guilty of harassment because they keep pursuing sex collectively when a woman is not interested (ie one man after another).
