英国前汉普郡警察局长斯科特·奇尔顿因与两名下属警官发生性关系并滥用职权被裁定严重不当行为罪名成立1。现年53岁的奇尔顿已于2025年4月退休1。若非已退休,他将被开除并被列入警察学院禁止人员名单,终身禁止从事警察工作1。
听证会发现,奇尔顿与下属A警官的关系发生在他担任督察长或警司期间,包括在值班期间发生性行为1。与下属B警官的关系始于2023年2月他成为局长后数周内1。奇尔顿在担任银色指挥官期间与A警官发生性行为,该职位意味着如发生重大事件他将负责指挥1。
听证会主持人米歇尔·斯基尔认为奇尔顿的行为显示"持久的不诚实和缺乏操守"1。他多次不诚实地否认这些关系1,并滥用职权对B警官施压,要求其"删除和再次删除"信息并避免出现他妻子会参加的活动1。奇尔顿职业生涯跨度33年,曾担任国家警察局长委员会领导1。自2023年2月成为局长以来,汉普郡约有20起不当行为案件涉及性行为指控1。
Scott Chilton, a 53-year-old former chief constable of Hampshire Police, has been found guilty of gross misconduct for engaging in sexual relationships with two subordinate officers and abusing his position to conceal the conduct.1 The hearing determined that Chilton had sexual relations with one officer while serving as a superintendent or inspector, including during shifts on duty.1 His relationship with a second officer began within weeks of his appointment as chief constable in February 2023.1
The misconduct panel, chaired by Michelle Skill, concluded that Chilton's actions demonstrated "persistent dishonesty and a lack of integrity."1 He repeatedly and falsely denied both relationships and used his authority to pressure the second officer, instructing her to "delete and re-delete" messages and avoid attending events where his wife would be present.1 Although Chilton had already retired in April 2025 prior to the hearing, he was placed on the College of Policing's barred list, permanently prohibiting him from police work.1 Over his 33-year career, Chilton had previously served in leadership roles, including on the National Police Chiefs' Council.1
The ruling underscores persistent conduct concerns within Hampshire Police, which has faced approximately twenty misconduct cases involving sexual conduct allegations since Chilton became chief constable in February 2023.1 The decision follows a similar February 2025 disciplinary hearing involving Roger Wood, a former inspector, who was also found to have had inappropriate relationships with two junior colleagues.1
