A COP faces the sack after pestering a colleague to sleep with him — and loudly bragging in public about buying a sex chair.
Det Con David Lavery was on a train with other officers last June when he made “inappropriate comments” about the chair.
They repeatedly asked him to tone it down but he carried on bragging about it and even showed off an image of the chair he was planning to buy, it is claimed.
A woman nearby was so offended she moved seats, it is claimed.
The charges he faces states that “on June 5, 2024, on the 21.20 train back to Newcastle, DC Lavery made inappropriate and loud comments about buying a sex chair.”
“His comments could be heard by members of the public. DC Lavery’s conduct was likely to cause offence to members of the public as well as to his colleagues.
DC Lavery is also accused of making “persistent requests” to a female detective for sex.
His “offensive” language is said to have left her feeling “violated”.
The Northumbria Police officer is accused of gross misconduct and faces dismissal if found guilty.
He is due to appear at a disciplinary panel today in Houghton le Spring, Tyne and Wear.
The hearing is expected to last for four days.
