Spycop booted out the Met for gross misconduct over his relationship with female activist

JIM BOYLING became the first spycop to be booted out of the Met today for an unauthorised relationship with a female activist.

A disciplinary panel held in secret found Mr Boyling guilty of gross misconduct over his relationship with Rosa between 2001 and 2005, after he had left the notorious Special Demonstration Squad.

Mr Boyling previously deceived Rosa into a relationship in 1999 while infiltrating Reclaim the Streets under the name Jim Sutton, before resuming their relationship, having two children and marrying. They divorced in 2008.
