PC David Longden-Thurgood, 51, had 'non-consensual sex' with the business owner after meeting her on dating app Bumble , a misconduct panel ruled.
A police officer who was cleared of rape after pressing a woman into sex has been found to have committed gross misconduct by a disciplinary panel.
Previously at a crown court, PC Longden-Thurgood was formally cleared of rape. His first trial collapsed, then jurors sitting on his re-trial could not reach a verdict, and his victim did not want to give evidence at a third trial.

'This is not the behaviour we expect to see in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Constabulary and I know, like me, you will be appalled by this individuals conduct.' The pair started kissing and engaging in some sexual activity and at some point the officer stood up and 'removed his boxer shorts'.In response, he said: 'Don't worry, we're not going to have sex.'
She wrote: 'I didn't mind a spoon and a bit of playing but I think you intended on coming here to have sex and wouldn't be happy until we had.The panel found that PC Longden-Thurgood would have been dismissed from the force had he not already resigned in February of last year
