SUSSEX POLICE OFFICER DISMISSED AFTER ADMITTING ASSAULT AND STALKING
A police officer awaiting sentencing for common assault and stalking a woman has been dismissed from Sussex Police.
Brighton-based PC Alexander Walsh, aged 33, of St Michael's Place, Brighton, admitted the charges at Portsmouth Crown Court earlier this month.
During a hearing at Sussex Police headquarters last Friday, two counts of gross misconduct relating to discreditable conduct were established against him.
As a result, he was dismissed without notice and is scheduled to be sentenced on October 12.
Walsh pleaded guilty to the charges of common assault and stalking without causing fear, alarm, or distress on September 5.
Det Supt Steve Boniface, head of Sussex Police's professional standards department, stated: "This officer's behaviour was a violation of the trust that the public put in the police to serve and protect them."
