"He repeatedly violated my boundaries. He swore on oath to uphold the law and failed to do so. The victim described PC Capery as being drunk, inappropriate and vulgar from the moment she arrived at the venue, highlighting the breach of trust by a serving police officer."
"It's quite clear that in drink, as demonstrated by what happened [in January of last year], you are not the sort of person that maybe your colleagues, members of family, etc. know. The judge's statement emphasized the contrast between Capery's professional reputation and his behavior while intoxicated."
"The defendant had his hand on her bottom and repeatedly squeezed it. The court heard the incident lasted for around one minute and the woman, who was known to PC Capery, was shocked and didn't say anything to the defendant or anyone else at the time."
PC Jason Capery, 34, pleaded guilty to sexual assault after groping a woman's bottom repeatedly during a one-minute incident at a Westminster pub in January 2025. The victim, who knew the officer, was shocked by the behavior and described him as drunk, inappropriate, and vulgar. She stated he violated her boundaries and failed his oath to uphold the law. At Westminster Magistrates' Court, the judge acknowledged the offense crossed the custody threshold but imposed a 12-month community order instead of imprisonment. Character references described Capery as hardworking and diligent, though the judge noted his behavior while intoxicated contradicted his professional reputation.
