KATIE Price says she feels betrayed by the scandal-hit Metropolitan Police as officers are investigated over allegedly making callous jokes about her disabled son Harvey.
The TV star and ex-model, 44, told the Sunday Mirror of her fury after learning eight policemen face a gross misconduct inquiry. They are accused of using a WhatsApp group to exchange jibes about brave Harvey, 20, who has severe disabilities.
Katie said: "These are the people who are supposed to be protecting us, people we are supposed to trust. It's pure betrayal. I was in shock at first, then I felt sick, heartbroken and angry.
She went on to call for a criminal probe, and stormed: "It's not enough for these people to just lose their jobs if found guilty. If this has happened to a vulnerable adult like Harvey, it will be happening to others."
ABUSE
The claims are the latest in a string of damaging episodes for London's Metropolitan force, which was last year plunged into special measures.
Today we name the officers alleged to have exchanged discriminatory messages about Harvey, who has a condition called Prader-Willi Syndrome, between 2016 and 2018.
They are: Police Sergeant Luke Thomas, PC Glynn Rees, former Acting PS Luke Allen, former PC Lee South, former PC Carlo Francisco, former PC Kelsey Buchan, former PC Darren Jenner and another listed only as Officer B.
