Kane Haywood, a former police officer, has recently been dismissed from his position after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman. The incident occurred in March of 2021, when Haywood and the victim had exchanged flirtatious messages on Instagram and decided to meet for the first time at her home in Exeter, Devon. However, things quickly took a disturbing turn.
As soon as Haywood arrived at the victim's home, he became aggressive and forceful. According to the victim, he followed her into her bedroom and began kissing her without her consent. Despite her attempts to push him away, Haywood continued to touch her inappropriately and even referred to her as a "sex doll". The victim felt violated and unworthy, and three years later, she still struggles with intimacy.
During his trial, Haywood admitted to taking Viagra before the incident and being aroused at the time. However, he denied arriving at the victim's home with the intention of having sex. He claimed that things escalated quickly and that the victim was enjoying their interaction. But the jury did not believe his version of events and found him guilty of sexual assault by penetration.
Haywood's defense attorney, David Maunder, stated that his client had simply lost control of himself and had learned a hard lesson. Despite being cleared of two counts of rape, Haywood was sentenced to 12 months in jail, suspended for 18 months. He was also ordered to pay £1,000 towards costs and placed on the Sex Offenders' register for ten years.
Haywood sobbed in the dock as the judge delivered his sentence, stating that he had forfeited a promising career. And it was not just the court that felt this way - the Devon and Cornwall Police also held a disciplinary hearing and decided to fire Haywood from the force. He has been banned from all policing for life.
Deputy chief constable Dave Thorne expressed his disgust at Haywood's actions, stating that they were abhorrent and brought shame to the police service. It is a stark reminder that no one is above the law, and that those who abuse their power and harm others will face consequences.
