The appellant police officer was convicted of multiple counts of discreditable conduct for making unwelcome sexual comments and physical advances toward female colleagues and civilians while off-duty at a motel during a temporary posting.
The Commission upheld the convictions, rejecting the appellant's explanations and his argument that the relaxed off-duty atmosphere excused his behaviour.
However, the Commission allowed the appeal against penalty, finding the original sentence too harsh given the appellant's efforts at rehabilitation, and reduced his rank to Fourth Class Constable.
