Ex-model wins £200k fight over sex spy cop
Helicopter perv filmed her naked
A FORMER glamour model has won her legal battle with police after an officer used a force helicopter to film her sunbathing naked in her garden.
Tracy Dixon, 54, claimed police invaded her privacy and caused her distress by refusing to reveal how often she had been spied on.
She sued for £ 200,000 after former constable Adrian Pogmore, 54, was jailed for a year in 2017 having admitted four charges of misconduct in public office.
He had used South Yorkshire Police’s chopper for “sexual spying”, with a camera that could read a number plate two miles away.
The force said it had now come to a settlement with Ms Dixon but refused to say if it was for £200,000.
“All criminal, civil and misconduct proceedings have concluded,” it said in a statement.
It is thought the force agreed to pay Ms Dixon’s legal costs as well.
She previously blasted Pogmore as “a taxpayer-funded pervert” who flew around “for sexual kicks while criminals were on the run”.
The pair attended the same
school as kids and Ms Dixon feared he had been “secretly watching, stalking, following me for decades”.
She added his actions had left her with “no trust in the police”.
“It was a complete violation of my privacy,” Ms Dixon said. “I feel sick to know it took place.”
Pogmore, who was in South
Yorkshire police’s air support unit, also filmed a couple having sex on their patio and another pair naked.
The former officer, from Whiston in Rotherham, was described in court as “a swinging and sexobsessed air observer”.
