Former Cop Pleads Guilty to Assault | Sheffield News

A former police officer in West Yorkshire, Ben Hutchinson, pleaded guilty to two serious assaults—including sexual assault—committed on a night out last August, leading to his resignation and a community order with rehab, 120 hours of unpaid work, and a 90-day alcohol ban. The force condemned his actions, emphasizing that consent and respect are non-negotiable—even off-duty—and he now faces a gross misconduct hearing with a likely ban from policing. Victims’ courage to speak out underscores the department’s commitment to accountability and safety for all. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
