A Greenwich Special Constable who pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual activity with a child and drugs charges has been dismissed from the Met Police
A Special Case Hearing for Metropolitan Police Special Constable (MSC) David Rodley, attached to Greenwich Borough, was held today (July 13).
It was alleged that his conduct amounted to a breach of the standards of professional behaviour in respect of 'authority, respect and courtesy' and 'discreditable conduct'.
On 24 November 2017, Rodley was arrested by the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit (SEROCU).
On Sunday, 11 February, he was charged with a range of offences and remanded in custody.
On Friday, 16 March, MSC Rodley appeared at Oxford Crown Court and pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual activity with a child, sexual communication with a child and possession of Class A drugs.
He has since pleaded guilty to additional offences and is due to be sentenced on Wednesday, 18 July.
The Chair of the case hearing found the allegations proven as gross misconduct, and he was dismissed without notice. Rodley was not present at the proceedings, and was not legally represented.
