Met sergeant faces possible dismissal over strip-search

A MET Police sergeant had a woman strip-searched after she offered legal advice to a 15-year-old boy, a disciplinary hearing was told today.

Philosophy lecturer Konstancja Duff says she still suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and flashbacks after her ordeal.

Ms Duff was arrested after trying to offer the boy a card containing legal advice during a stop-and-search in east London in May 2013.
