Officer Pinched Colleague’s Bottom | Bristol News

A Bath police officer got a final written warning after a misconduct panel found she pinched a colleague’s bottom four times last year — a behavior deemed inappropriate, even if meant as a joke. The panel also reviewed other incidents, including pulling at her pants, exposing underwear, and placing her face on her neck — all deemed embarrassing but not sexual. An attempted kiss while she was on a sofa was ruled a balance mishap, not intent. Though gross misconduct was dismissed, the panel upheld the bottom-pinching as unacceptable workplace behavior, rejecting her “it was cold” excuse. The warning, valid for three years, stressed the need for her to reflect on how her actions impacted her colleague’s comfort and professionalism.
