Police officer who tweeted crude jokes about woman's boobs' and Prince Andrew keeps his job
"PC Andrew Jacks ran an account on X, formerly Twitter, for ten years making comments that were demeaning to women, gays and disabled people. He shared a photo taken covertly of a mother with the biggest fake boobs who had been at Jungle Adventure children's play park in Colchester, Essex on August 18, 2014. Describing her as a bird, he posted two images showing her chest, followed by the comment to friend Chris Hayter: Best I can do. Doesn't really do them justice!"
"An aggravating factor of such conduct is that it is reasonable to assume the female was at the play park with a child. By your comments and actions in taking and sharing the images you failed to treat this member of the public with respect and courtesy, choosing instead to objectify her for your and Mr Hayter's entertainment. As such your conduct was also such as would discredit the police or damage public confidence in it."
PC Andrew Jacks ran an X account for ten years posting demeaning comments about women, gay people and disabled people. He covertly photographed a mother at Jungle Adventure children's play park in Colchester on August 18, 2014, posted chest images and commented to a friend. In April 2013 he posted a crude tweet about Prince Andrew; in 2012–2013 he used homophobic and misogynistic slurs, and referenced AIDS derogatorily. A City of London Police gross misconduct panel found the covert photo-sharing and comments objectified the woman and would damage public confidence. Some language was judged inappropriate or outdated, yet he retained his role.
