I was a police poster girl but was ‘bullied’ out over my racy holiday snaps – I’ve got my revenge and earn £200k a YEAR
A FORMER police inspector who claims she was bullied out of the force because she posted racy holiday snaps online has revealed she now earns £200,000 a year by stripping naked on OnlyFans.
Leanne Carr was a 'poster girl' for Lincolnshire Police during her impressive 14 years with the force.
But she alleges she was hounded out following years of harassment and false accusations, leaving her life and career in tatters.
Now the 38-year-old has spoken about her ordeal for the first time and claims Lincolnshire Police is awash with misogyny and bullying, all of which she claims she’s witnessed first-hand.
The single mum-of-two was hit with three misconduct charges while on duty, but she claims her only crime was to post photos of herself online in skimpy bikinis.
Senior cops even investigated Leanne over snaps of her wearing a branded Rockstar energy drink bikini - wrongly believing it was the logo for Rockstar Games - the firm that produces violent video game Grand Theft Auto.

However, Lincolnshire Police have hit back and denied all allegations of bullying, misogyny and harassment, and told The Sun they treat such matters with "utmost seriousness".
Leanne was investigated for over two years amid accusations her attire in social media posts was not compatible with policing and that she was cashing by modelling- allegations she says were 100 percent untrue.
"The whole thing was ridiculous but it ruined my career, my relationship, and left me in a very bad place," said Leanne.
"I loved my job as a police officer and I was proud of what I achieved, but I felt I was knifed in the back by jealous colleagues and a force unwilling to get with the times.
"They didn't like the fact that I had become a sergeant and then acting inspector so young, so my social media was an easy target.
"But I wasn't willing to roll over and let them dictate how I should live my life."
Leanne eventually left Lincolnshire Police two years ago, but was unable to speak about her case due to legal proceedings, which are no longer active.
She's since become a full-time personal trainer and fitness model and a social media influencer with over 151,000 Instagram followers.
She also makes cash by posting X-rated content on her OnlyFans account, streaming fitness routines and selling merchandise.
"The irony is I'm now making crazy money by doing what the police have accused me of doing all along, only this time it's genuine," she said.
"I've been on OnlyFans for almost a year, it generates a good income.
"The fact I can now earn a living after all the pain and hardship is pretty amazing.
"The irony is I'm now making crazy money by doing what the police have accused me of doing all along.
Cop turned OnlyFans star Leanne Carr
"My reputation was completely destroyed, the police force destroyed a lot of things for me.
"But I'm a single parent with two wonderful children and I have to put a roof over their heads and give them a financially secure future."
Leanne, who has a degree in forensic science and criminology, first joined Lincolnshire Police in 2006 starting out in the control room.
She then became a constable and took all the exams to be quickly promoted to sergeant by the age of 23.
But she claims her male colleagues couldn’t hack being bossed around by a younger woman, refusing to call her by her rank.
After years of petty anonymous reports against her under the force's "bad apple" complaints system things took a turn for the worse in 2015.
Leanne had been off sick after tearing her bicep during a police training exercise and she had also just passed the exams and interview process to become an inspector.
It was not long after that she was hit with her first misconduct charge.
"I was on duty on Christmas Day when I went to a male colleagues house so he could watch his children open their presents," she said.
"There was an understanding within the force that officers working over Christmas could be at home or at a family members, providing you had your radio on and answered any calls.
"But the misconduct papers said I neglected my duty by going to the officer's house. It was a ploy to get their teeth into me."
Leanne was under investigation for a year, lost her inspector rank and was moved to another police station 45 minutes away.
Ultimately the force found no evidence of misconduct.
"During that time I went off sick because my mental health declined significantly, I felt bullied and undermined," she said.
Then in August, 2016 Leanne was called in for an "ethical interview" following a series of further anonymous complaints from colleagues.
"One said I was wearing pink nail varnish to work, one complained I drove a Porsche, others alleged affairs with colleagues, none of it had anything to do with policing.
"It was then I was first accused of modelling for my partner's business because of the photos I was posting to social media.
"I told them I wasn't a model and had never earned any money from it, it wasn't a side hustle.
"But they didn't believe me, they just used it as another stick to beat me with."
"Thousands of cops post holiday photos online every day, but I was penalised because mine looked better than everyone else's."

Leanne was made to fill out a business interest form, despite telling the force she wasn't modelling.
"I never stopped posting on social media, in a way it was my coping mechanism and I wanted to inspire others," she explained.
"My ex-boyfriend is a photographer and videographer, and I'm attractive and have a good body because I'm into my fitness.
"Thousands of cops post holiday photos online every day, but I was penalised because mine looked better than everyone else's."
Again top brass at Lincolnshire police accused Leanne of moonlighting as a professional model and influencer to make money.
But she claims she never made a penny from her social media accounts while working as a police officer.
Even after the ex inspector returned to her £45,000-a-year post she was accused of making money flaunting her cleavage while playing online video games, another thing she says wasn't true.
But this time Leanne was found guilty of misconduct for allegedly continuing to work as a model despite being rejected for a business interest application.
"I was placed back at a completely different station, the gossip, everyone's watching me, my mental health declined," she said.
"Then came the Rockstar allegations which didn't amount to anything, but I ended up going off sick due to work related stress.
"I eventually returned to work on restrictive duties, but went off on maternity leave in September, 2019.
"After that I couldn't face going back, I was suicidal and on anti-depressants."
Leanne quit the force in November, 2020 and took out legal proceedings against Lincolnshire Police.
In March this year, her legal team dropped her case nine days before the trial because she was posting pictures of her body on OnlyFans.
Leanne, who still dreams of returning to policing, to "make my kids proud", added: "I have been vilified and publicly humiliated because of the actions of Lincolnshire Police, but I wanted to speak out in the hope I can give some strength and courage to other people.
"If you believe in something then stand up for it, go with your heart and don't let people knock you down."
In a statement to The Sun, a spokesperson for Lincolnshire Police said: “A former Sergeant of Lincolnshire Police brought a claim for damages alleging bullying and harassment, which was denied by the force throughout.
"The former officer discontinued the claim earlier this year, one week before a trial of the allegations was due to commence.
“Any allegation of misogyny, bullying and corruption among officers or staff is concerning and is treated with the utmost seriousness.

"We urge anyone with evidence of such behaviour to make a formal complaint, which can then be investigated.”
