Police officer visited swinger while on duty

A former police officer had sex with a woman he met on a swingers' website while on duty.

PC Stuart Greaney would have been sacked had he not already resigned, said a Hertfordshire Police misconduct panel.

The officer admitted knowing the woman and going to her home but denied having sex with her.

However, the panel found the woman was telling the truth and there was enough evidence to believe the meeting had taken place as alleged.

The officer joined the Metropolitan Police in March 2009 and transferred to Hertfordshire Constabulary in December 2022.

He met a woman referred to by the panel as 'Ms A' on a swingers' website.

Following an exchange of messages he drove to her address on 16 June 2023 using his police motorcycle and wearing his police uniform.

Mr Greaney met Ms A at about 14:24 BST, more than 30 minutes before his shift was finished.

The panel said once there he engaged in consensual intercourse with the woman, despite being on duty, and was at the address for about 20 minutes.

Ms A told the panel she felt "used and angry" when he stopped visiting her and seemingly sought out other women on the site.

Exactly a year after their meeting, 16 June 2024, Mr Greaney left the force and did not engage with the disciplinary process.

The panel concluded he had committed gross misconduct and his name was added to the police barring list, meaning he can never again work in policing.
