Traffic policeman suspended for spending hours on duty seducing prostitutes.
A married
policeman spent hours on duty sending sexual texts to women and trying to
organise a meet-up with a transvestite, a court has heard. PC Christopher
Hopkins told one woman to buy a number of sexual products for a meeting while
he also sent pictures of himself to a cross dresser, Preston Crown Court was
told. The 41-year-old also sent an email to the transvestite saying: "Hi
there, your mouth looks very inviting”, while he was on traffic duties on
August 4, 2013, jurors heard. According to the Liverpool Echo, over the
following two shifts Hopkins made several contacts with the crossdresser who
had advertised sexual services on the website Craigslist, asking for a phone
number and trying to arrange to meet. At the same time he was exchanging
explicit messages with another woman, the court heard. Richard Haworth,
prosecuting, outlined traffic from Hopkins’ phone while he was on duty on
August 4, 5 and 6. Throughout the shifts his Samsung Galaxy mobile phone was
almost permanently connected to the internet and there was an ongoing exchange
of text messages between the officer and the woman - who cannot be identified
for legal reasons. In one message, read to the court, married Merseyside
policeman Hopkins asked the woman to buy sex products for their meeting,
telling her: “I’ll give you cash for it.” In a separate message, to the
crossdresser he said: “Hi hun, just seen text. Only had one pic from you. Won’t
be meeting tonight.” Minutes later he sent four photographs of himself.
Hopkins, of Whickham Close, Widnes, is on trial at Preston Crown Court accused
of wilfully neglecting his duties as a police officer and six sexual offences.
He denies all the charges against him.
Opening the
trial, prosecutor Richard Haworth said: “The Crown’s case, in a nutshell, is
that he was unable to contain his sexual urges, and all of these alleged
offences, spanning a not inconsiderable period of time, were committed to
satisfy his predatory sexual nature. “The audacity, and impertinence, of the
sexual advances almost beggars belief, but such an approach is a common feature
of his offending.”
