SENIOR Met Police officers “encouraged or tolerated” undercover cops having sexual relationships with their targets, a tribunal heard today.
Kate Wilson, a green activist duped into a relationship with a spycop, is suing the force as the latest step in her 10-year battle for the truth.
Her nearly two-year relationship with Mark Kennedy began in 2003, without her knowing that he was a police spy sent to gather intelligence on her and the environmental groups she was campaigning with.
