Sex claims MP hires coke cop

Disgraced cop

Coleman lost job as sergeant after a positive cocaine test

Investigated Tory

Rosindell faces sex offence allegations and is also accused of misconduct in a public office

A TORY MP on bail for sex offences has given a parliamentary job to a policeman who was sacked after testing positive for cocaine. 

Andrew Rosindell hired long-term Tory activist Starbuck Coleman in January, after he was fired from his job as a custody sergeant last year.

They have known each other since 2008, when Coleman started working as the MP’s parliamentary researcher and rose to become his chief of staff.

Coleman, 36, a privately educated university graduate who is also known as Stephen, went on to join British Transport Police in 2015 but was dismissed in July last year.
