Spycop who duped a woman into a relationship would be investigated for gross misconduct today

A SPYCOP who allegedly duped a teenage activist into a sexual relationship would be under investigation for gross misconduct if he was still an officer, the Metropolitan Police admitted today.

An internal investigation by Scotland Yard upheld a complaint made by the woman, known only as “Jessica,” that she was deceived into a sexual relationship by Andy Coles.

Jessica was just 19 when she started a relationship with the undercover cop while part of an animal rights group in the 1990s.
