A Thames Valley PC trainee who joked about rape has been sacked from the force

A police trainee who joked about raping a colleague was told he would have been sacked had he not already resigned.

Former police officer Kennedy Lungu was training with Thames Valley Police in Sulhamstead, Berkshire, when, when discussing sex, he said “no, no actually means no”.

Other vulgar remarks made by the police misconduct panel are too graphic to be published.

In ordering him to be banned for life from police work, the panel said it could find no mitigating factors in Mr Lungu’s favor “apart from the observation that he was at a very early stage in his career”.

The panel was told that the officer was collecting her bag at the training center while other colleagues, including Mr Lungu, were waiting to collect it.

Mr Lungu told the woman to hurry up and, when asked what he would do if she didn’t, joked that he would rape her.

It was also gathered that after Mr. Lungu and his class watched a video on domestic violence, he made a comment stating that “the woman in question deserved it.”

The panel found that his colleague “came to class on numerous occasions and former officer Lungu talked about sex and talked about sex over lunch.”

It said his behavior was “intentional, deliberate, directed and planned” and that it “amounted to abuse of women and girls.”

Mr Lungu did not appear at last week’s hearing, which took place at TVP’s headquarters in Kidlington, Oxfordshire.
