Ex-police officer jailed for misconduct and assault in Staffordshire
Jarrett Kinson admitted misconduct in public office
An ex-police officer has been sentenced to seven months in prison following misconduct and assault charges in Staffordshire.
43-year-old Jarrett Kinson was dismissed as an officer in November 2019 and was jailed for corruption.
That was after he admitted contacting and sending messages and explicit images on social media to a vulnerable woman after he attended a report of domestic abuse.
He was arrested again in 2021 following more allegations.
A Staffordshire police spokesperson said, "Jarrett Kinson, 43, of Tamworth, admitted the offence of holder of a public office wilfully misconducted himself and common assault at Stafford Crown Court on Monday (27 October).
"He was sentenced at the same court on Wednesday (29 October).
"Kinson was dismissed as a police officer in November 2019 after he admitted corruption through abuse of his authority of the office of constable and was jailed for eight months.
"Following his conviction, further allegations came to light and Kinson was arrested in August 2021. He denied the offences when interviewed.
"The offences happened in 2011 and 2017 in Staffordshire."
Assistant Chief Constable Sally Blaiklock said: “Jarrett Kinson’s crimes are reprehensible, and he was in a position of trust as a police officer.”
“The victim and witnesses in this case have shown immense courage in coming forward. We do not underestimate how hard it is to report offences when the perpetrator worked in policing.”
