On Tuesday evening, a 135-page report was released by the Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) into the way senior police responded to serious complaints made against McSkimming in 2023 and early 2024.
The report deals with a sexual relationship developed between a woman, named in the report as Ms Z, who was 21 at the time and McSkimming who was 40. This relationship started in 2016.
After the relationship ended, sometime after 2018, Ms Z began sending emails to McSkimming and others, alleging serious sexual conduct, threats to use an intimate recording and the misuse of police credit card and property. Anonymous comments were also posted on LinkedIn including after he was appointed deputy commissioner and online reports made to 105.
The report is damning for police, but it should be noted the IPCA’s role was not to establish what McSkimming allegedly did, but rather how police responded to it.
