A police officer who touched his colleague's penis and shouted 'it’s a small one' has been sacked. PC Adam Reed was dismissed by Wiltshire Police for his 'wholly inappropriate' behaviour.
He was sacked following a five day misconduct hearing headed by an independent lawyer, a Legally Qualified Chair (LQC), Wales Online reports. During the hearing, Reed admitted that at a police station, in front of colleagues, he had pulled down the officer’s trouser zip, inserted his hand and touched his penis before shouting 'it's a small one'.
He claimed the incident was 'banter', and that he shouldn't be sacked. Reed argued it amounted to misconduct rather than gross misconduct, which results in dismissal.

But it was ruled that Reed’s behaviour was gross misconduct. He will not be able to work as a police officer again, as he was placed on the national barred list.
The victim, named as officer X at the hearing, said he was left 'violated' by Reed's actions. He had only spoken to Reed occasionally before, and had never worked with him directly.
The incident only happened about a month after officer X started full time in October last year. Deputy Chief Constable Paul Mills, of Wiltshire Police, said: "The actions of former Police Constable Adam Reed were not only wholly inappropriate, they violated the dignity of his colleague and, would have caused him significant distress.
"His actions amounted to unwanted sexual conduct and the LQC’s decision to dismiss Adam Reed from Wiltshire Police is completely endorsed by the Force. He will now be placed on the national barred list which will ensure he is not able to work in

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticIn “Mad Men,” Jon Hamm had his corner office: the room with a view, overlooking Madison Avenue, where Don Draper could work, drink and brainstorm in peace. Maybe that’s why the actor was drawn to playing a lowly paper-pusher with a bad mustache and big dreams of occupying such a space in “Corner Office,” a low-key, screw-loose workplace satire that offers audiences a side of Hamm they’ve never seen before — and might not be in such a hurry to experience again, unless the toil-from-home blues of the pandemic have made them receptive to the call of cubicle life.Premiering at the Tribeca Festival, “Corner Office” is director Joachim Back’s slightly taxing cinematic take on “The Room,” a slender novel by Swedish actor-cum-author Jonas Karlsson, unread by me, that bills itself as “a short, sharp and fiendish fable in the tradition of Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett and Charlie Kauffman.” Check, check and check, insofar as those three absurdist writers are concerned, though I’d quibble with the other descriptors in that pitch.
