A Thames Valley Police officer, PC Jonathan Fallon, has been incarcerated after engaging in sexual relations with a teenage girl who was the victim and witness of a previous crime.
PC Jonathan Fallon, of Thames Valley Police, admitted to police corruption at Luton Crown Court on 5 February 2025. He was terminated from the police department in March for violating standards of conduct.
On Monday, a 22-year-old from Rushden, Northamptonshire, received a 16-month prison sentence and a restraining order.
Ben Snuggs, Deputy Chief Constable of Thames Valley Police, stated: “Former PC Jonathan Fallon violated the trust placed in him by a crime victim and exploited his position of authority.”
At the time of the event, PC Jonathan Fallon had served as a police officer for two years and was stationed in Milton Keynes.
The misbehaviour report indicates that he saw the 17-year-old girl in July 2023 while investigating allegations of inappropriate texts sent to her by an older guy at a school where she volunteered.
She and PC Jonathan Fallon exchanged phone numbers and social media information, and in October, they commenced messaging one other on Snapchat.
Soon thereafter, PC Jonathan Fallon procured a hotel in Nottingham where the two engaged in sexual intercourse.
The following day, he informed her that they must cease their interactions and maintain the confidentiality of their connection to safeguard his employment.
The adolescent subsequently retracted her initial case, deeming it inappropriate since the investigating officer had exhibited the same behaviour, according to the misconduct report.
Fallon was apprehended on 23 February 2024 and subsequently charged on 28 October 2024.
DCC Snuggs said PC Jonathan Fallon’s actions “fell far below the high standards we expect, undermined public confidence and let down his colleagues”.
“I am very clear that there is no place in the force for officers who behave like this,” he added.
“His name has also been placed on the barred list, which means he will never be able to work in policing again.”
