Helicopter sex film officer is party swinger

- By Martin Evans CRIME CORRESPOND­ENT

THE police officer who filmed a couple having sex in their garden from a force helicopter attended swinging parties with them and had sex with the woman, it can be revealed.

Adrian Pogmore, 51, admitted hovering over their house in South Yorkshire and recording them as they put on a “brazen” show in their garden, having sex in numerous positions.

He also admitted filming a woman sunbathing naked in her garden, another couple sitting naked on sunlounger­s and two naturists sitting naked outside a caravan on a camp site.

Pogmore, who was described as “sex-obsessed”, will be sentenced next week after pleading guilty to four counts of misconduct in public office.

But four of his helicopter colleagues, pilots Matthew Loosemore, 45, and Malcolm Reeves, 64, and police officers Lee Walls, 47, and Matthew Lucas, 43, were cleared of wrongdoing, following a trial at Sheffield Crown Court. It can now be revealed that Pogmore, who is a divorced father of two, was a regular on the swinging scene, posting online reviews of specialist guesthouse­s he visited around the country.

He had known the couple in the video for more than 20-years years and had sex with the woman while attending parties.

The jury was shown footage of the husband wearing a Manchester United football shirt as the couple had sex in various positions on their patio.

He added: “It was obvious to me that our activity was being observed in light of how the force helicopter was being flown around or near to us.”

Pogmore later gave the couple a copy of the recording, but they said they destroyed it several years later when they left the wife-swapping scene.

In her statement, the wife said: “I am extremely embarrasse­d that this has come to light and been brought to the attention of the police.”
