Michael Parker’s actions will be examined by a police misconduct panel in Northallerton on Wednesday October 5.

He then stalked the same woman between May and August in 2020.

It comes after Daniel Guest was dismissed by South Yorkshire Police for misusing the force’s secure computer system, following a misconduct hearing.

According to the force, the police constable was found guilty of gross misconduct after he used the system “for a non-policing purpose on several occasions” between 2013 and 2018.

Three other South Yorkshire Police constables – Charlotte Kaill, Bethany Fuller and Inderjit Bassi – were found guilty of gross misconduct at three separate hearings earlier this year after they misused the system.
