James Berry, counsel for the force's Professional Standards Department, slammed the messages exchanged in the group, stating, "Some of the messages in issue in this case would rightly cause the public to be concerned as to whether the officers would be capable of impartially discharging their duties when it comes to women, given the sheer volume of derogatory and offensive jokes shared. It reflects a culture that is clearly inappropriate for officers sworn to uphold the law."
Insp Charles Ehikioya is accused of being part of a WhatsApp group where disturbing content was shared, including a joke about sex with a girl with Down's syndrome and mockery regarding the late Prince Philip's car crash. Ehikioya denies these allegations, claiming the messages are fabricated or misattributed due to his race and position, raising serious questions about accountability and the handling of misconduct within the police force.
