Head of London Police trafficking unit accused of freeing fellow officer caught in sting

A London police officer who spearheaded the city’s human trafficking unit is facing misconduct charges for allegedly freeing a fellow officer caught in a prostitution sting.

Sgt. Michael Hay is charged with discreditable conduct, neglect of duty, and insubordination, under the Police Services Act, in relation to an incident on April 19, 2018.

According to a notice of hearing, Hay is accused of “directing the unconditional release of a police officer from another service after his lawful arrest.” Hay was the supervisor of the human trafficking unit at the time, and the notice alleges he failed to conduct a proper investigation and took steps to cover it up.
