Two of three police officers who conducted the strip-search of a 15-year-old schoolgirl committed gross misconduct, a panel has found.
Misconduct has been proven in case of a third police officer, after the girl, known as Child Q, was searched at her school in Hackney, east London, in December 2020.
Child Q, who was wrongly suspected of possessing cannabis, was on her period at the time and forced to expose her intimate parts while no appropriate adult was present.
Trainee Det Con Kristina Linge, PC Victoria Wray and PC Rafal Szmydynski, who were all constables at the time, denied gross misconduct over their treatment of the girl.
