Disgraced former Police Deputy Commissioner Jevon McSkimming breached the police code of conduct by using taxpayers’ money to stay in hotels with a young woman he was in a sexual relationship with, the police watchdog says.
The Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) has released summaries of its supervision of two police investigations into McSkimming, one of which led to McSkimming being sentenced to home detention for possession of objectionable material.
In the other investigation into sexual abuse complaints laid by Ms Z, a young female police employee at the time, the police decided not to lay charges against McSkimming.
While McSkimming had admitted a consensual affair with the much younger woman – she was 21 at the time, he was 42 – he denied the allegations and claimed she was motivated by revenge.
The IPCA was satisfied that each investigation was handled professionally.
