A Metropolitan Police detective is accused of sending more than 1,000 sexually explicit messages to two female officers and attempting to arrange “private meet-ups” involving police stations. The messages were sent via a Metropolitan Police-issued phone over a period from May to November of last year, according to reporting.

The account describes the messages as “personal, intimate and sexually explicit.” It also says the detective allegedly tried to plan encounters in private locations, including police stations. The reports focus on the volume and nature of the communications and the alleged context in which they were proposed, while not providing further details on any disciplinary or legal outcomes in the excerpts provided.

Across the two provided pieces, the central allegations are consistent: the accused individual is identified as Detective Chief Inspector Chris Soole, the communication involved two female officers, the timeframe spans May to November last year, and the phone used was issued by the Met.
