Spycop victim takes the Crown Prosecution Service to court

A WOMAN deceived into a sexual relationship with an undercover police officer brought legal proceedings against the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) today for not bringing criminal charges against him.

Jim Boyling, who was an officer in the Met Police’s notorious Special Demonstration Squad (SDS), had three long-term intimate relationships with women while infiltrating Reclaim the Streets in the late 1990s under the cover name Jim Sutton.

One of the three women, known as Monica, is now challenging the CPS decision not to prosecute him, arguing that Mr Boyling should be charged with sexual offences and misconduct in public office.
