Drunk cop groped six women on night out during six-hour bender
PC Michael Bouwers drunkenly fondled and pinched the bottoms and groins of the women, repeatedly assaulting some victims who included primary school staff
A DRUNK cop groped six women on a night out during a six-hour bender.
PC Michael Bouwers fondled and pinched their bums and groins in a bar hosting a colleague’s leaving do and other bashes.
The dad of three, 30, repeatedly assaulted some victims, who included primary school staff.
Prosecutor Gino Connor said of one attack on a teacher: “He grabbed her bottom as she danced.
“He approached a second time, grabbed her waist from behind and one of his hands went towards her groin area.”
The lawyer said another victim pointed out the fact that he was a cop made it worse “as he’s likely to arrest people for this type of offence”.
Judge Georgina Kent told him: “You behaved in an appalling way.
“These are serious offences.
“Your behaviour was aggravated by the fact you were very drunk.
“You let yourself, your family and the service down.”
