'Arrogant' cop had sex with vulnerable woman while on duty

JUDGE WARNS SACKED OFFICER HE FACES 'SUBSTANTIAL' JAIL SENTENCE

- LYNDA ROUGHLEY AND CHRIS SLATER

A FORMER police constable has been found guilty of having sex sessions with a vulnerable woman whilst on duty.

Ex-Greater Manchester Police officer Shamraze Arshad, 38, is now facing a 'substantial' jail term after being convicted of misconduct in public office.

A four-day trial at Liverpool Crown Court, which concluded yesterday, heard that Arshad, a father-of-two, met the woman after he and a colleague were called out to her student accommodation in south Manchester when she was suicidal in the autumn of 2020.

He submitted a care plan for her after she was taken to hospital and having finished his shift 'that should have been the end of the matter, said Jamie Baxter, prosecuting.

But later that morning while off duty, 'arrogant' Arshad used his police mobile to find her personal details and began calling her just hours after she had been taken to hospital.
