A Met officer has been barred from policing for making ‘repugnant’ sexual comments to a colleague and touching her, the force says.

Detective sergeant Marvin Turner was on duty with his junior co-worker on a night last June, when he is said to have made the inappropriate remarks.

He is also accused of touching her without her consent.

His former superintendent Martin Rolston said: ‘Turner’s actions are thoroughly reprehensible.

‘He took advantage of his position as a supervising officer to put a junior colleague in a very unpleasant situation.

‘His behaviour was repugnant and falls well below the standard we – and the public – expect.’

The night was reported to senior officers and Turner was placed on restricted duties from July 2, while the Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards investigated.

It found he had breached the standards of professional behaviour with regard to discreditable conduct and authority and respect and courtesy.

He was sacked without notice.

Mr Rolston added:’It is clear that DS Marvin Turner has no place in policing.

‘It is right that he has been dismissed from the Metropolitan Police Service.’

There was also a criminal investigation into Turner, but it did not meet the threshold for a referral to the Crown Prosecution Service.

He will be added to a barred list held by the College of Policing, meaning he cannot be employed by police bodies or fire and rescue services.
