AN ANIMAL rights activist who was targeted for a relationship by an undercover police officer when she was 19 gave evidence to the spycops inquiry today.

Jessica (not her real name) told the undercover policing inquiry that she had been targeted by Andy Coles for a long-term relationship in 1993.

In emotional testimony, he said that Mr Coles, who was pretending to be a fellow activist, had lunged at her and kissed her while they were watching television — initiating her first sexual relationship.
