A police officer who had sex with a woman after responding to a 999 call at her home has been sentenced to 3 and a half years .
Jordan Masterson, 28, was a serving officer with Cheshire Constabulary when he was called to the woman’s home in December 2021. He will serve half of his sentence before being released on licence.
Two PCs had previously visited the woman’s home after her initial call to police to report a disturbance, but those officers were forced to leave due to another emergency.
When the woman later called 999 a second time, Masterson attended her home and within a short time of arriving, turned his body-worn camera off.
Masterson then engaged in sexual relations with the woman, while her children were asleep upstairs, before he left her home shortly afterwards.
Later, after attending other police calls, Masterson returned to the woman’s home and again turned his body-worn camera off. The woman said at this time he asked her not to tell anyone about what had happened earlier.
After Masterson left for the second time, the woman decided to call the police and explained what had happened.
Later that morning, Masterson, who has since resigned from the force, made a written report and warned colleagues of the woman, advising them to go ‘double-crewed’ in any future visits to her home.
Masterson later accepted that he had engaged in sexual intercourse with the woman but denied that he told her not to speak to anyone about it.
During a trial at Chester Crown Court, the prosecution was able to prove that Masterson wilfully misconducted himself by having sex with a vulnerable member of the public while on duty, and he was found guilty of misconduct in public office.
