Steven Walters, 54, left the force in 2016. The charge against him alleges that on July 14, 2013 while acting as a police constable, he wilfully misconducted himself by engaging in inappropriate sexual activity with a woman.

The IOPC said in a statement: “We began our enquiries after a mandatory referral from West Midlands Police in November 2021 about the former officer’s conduct.

“On completion of our investigation we sent a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service, which authorised the charge this month.”

Walter will make his first appearance before Birmingham Magistrates Court at 10am today (Wednesday February 22).
