A police officer is accused of choking a woman who said no to sex during a disciplinary hearing, raising serious misconduct concerns
Havant: A shocking case has come to light involving a police officer and a woman he met on Tinder. During a disciplinary hearing, it was revealed that the officer, Aiden Bloomfield, allegedly choked the woman when she asked him to stop his unwanted sexual advances.
The woman, referred to as Miss A, shared her experience at the hearing, explaining how she had met Bloomfield and they both had an interest in BDSM. However, she made it clear that she did not want to have sex when they met up at his home in December 2022.
Despite her repeated refusals, Bloomfield persisted. He even sent her a Snapchat message suggesting he had a condom ready in case she changed her mind. Miss A described feeling pressured and uncomfortable, stating she had given various excuses to avoid sex, but he ignored them all.
Things escalated when Bloomfield allegedly pulled her hair and choked her after she asked him to stop. She recounted feeling dizzy and overwhelmed after the encounter, which left her feeling used and violated.
After leaving his home, Miss A reached out to friends in a distressed state, clearly shaken by the experience. The hearing highlighted that Bloomfield’s actions were a serious breach of professional conduct, as he failed to ensure that Miss A had freely given consent.
Bloomfield, who has since left the police force, did not attend the hearing and claimed that Miss A had consented to the sexual activity. However, the evidence presented suggests otherwise, raising significant concerns about trust in the police.
The hearing is ongoing, and the implications of this case are far-reaching, especially regarding the treatment of women and the accountability of police officers.
