flag A London police sergeant was fired for mocking a rape allegation during a shift, based on undercover BBC footage.

flag Metropolitan Police Sergeant Clayton Robinson has been dismissed without notice after a misconduct hearing found he committed gross misconduct by mocking a rape allegation during a police shift. flag Undercover BBC Panorama footage showed him making inappropriate remarks about a complainant who woke up without trousers, including joking about not remembering removing his own, and singing part of the Oompa Loompa Song while referencing a suspect with orange and green hair. flag The tribunal, chaired by Commander Andy Brittain, ruled his comments undermined public confidence and failed to uphold professional standards, despite Robinson’s claims of frustration with the investigation and denial of hostility toward women. flag He is the fifth officer dismissed following the BBC investigation, with three others still awaiting hearings.
