A group of Scotland Yard officers who joked about raping crime victims and exchanged racist, homophobic and misogynistic messages have been allowed to keep their jobs. The scandal was exposed after the Mail obtained the disturbing contents of a phone belonging to an award-winning firearms officer, PC Edward Bengree. It revealed discussions between officers about demanding oral sex from a ‘hot s*** victim of crime’ in exchange for filing a crime report on the woman’s ordeal. The three-day misconduct hearing panel concluded that PC Bengree, PC Hewett and PC Donovan should receive final written warnings for gross misconduct. PC Bengree and DC Taylor discussed getting victims of crime into the back of a police van and sexually assaulting them.
