POLICE INVESTIGATOR JAILED FOR SEX WITH VULNERABLE WOMAN
Former Sussex Police investigator David Gamlin was sentenced to one year in prison for misconduct in October 2025.
He engaged in sexual activity with a woman while on duty, and told her he would help get her children back from care in exchange for sex, although he denies using his position as leverage.
He was dismissed from the force in 2023.
Sussex Police have apologized to the victim for Gamlin's offending and the service she received, with Deputy Chief Constable Dave McLaren stating that Gamlin's behavior was subject to a criminal investigation resulting in a jail sentence, and he has been barred from serving with the police again.
