PC James Ankrett abused police powers and started an 'inappropriate' relationship with the woman for his own sexual gratification
A 'corrupt' cop who launched into a 'flirtatious and sexualised' relationship with a vulnerable domestic abuse victim has been sacked.
PC James Ankrett abused police powers and started an 'inappropriate' relationship with the woman for his own sexual gratification.
He was on duty with West Midlands Police when he 'deliberately' handed over his personal mobile phone number to the victim during a call-out to her home.
The former officer, from Hednesford, was dismissed following a police misconduct hearing on Thursday, October 14.
It came after the 40-year-old admitted a charge of corrupt or other improper exercise of police powers at Wolverhampton Crown Court last month.
Ankrett - who did not appear at his misconduct hearing - is due to be sentenced at the court next week.
