A police officer who pulled a teenage woman's top down and took a photo has been found guilty of sexual assault - despite claims it was just 'banter'
Paul Hinchcliffe, 46, was found guilty after a trial at Leeds Crown Court where jurors heard how he took a picture of the woman, which he sent to one of his colleagues.
As for making an inappropriate comment about watching her go to the toilet, Mr Hinchcliffe said: "I could have quite possibly said something like that but there's nothing sexual in it, it's just banter. I'm not saying I didn't, but I can't remember saying it.
