Two Metropolitan Police officers have been sentenced to three months’ imprisonment after sharing racist, homophobic, misogynistic and ableist messages in a WhatsApp group with Wayne Couzens.
“They encapsulated the full range of prejudiced views, racism, misogyny, ableism and homophobia,” the judge said.“There was no intention on the part of the defendants to cause any harm to the persons to whom these messages relate or the minor groups of society who are undoubtedly affected by these messages,” she continued.
In the group chat, which included seven new Met Police officers, including Couzens, Cobban joked about sexually abusing domestic violence survivors who he said “love it… that’s why they are repeat victims more often than not”. In their chat, Feltham, in west London, was referred to as “filthy” and Hounslow, also in West London, as a “Somali shithole”.On April 25, 2019, Borders joked about a female colleague, who he referred to as a “sneaky bitch”, “lead him on” and “get” him jailed for raping and beating her.
She said Cobban and Borders had shown no “genuine remorse” but were “indignant” to find themselves before the court and felt they were being “scapegoated”.“This humour was covert and done in a covert way, to exchange banter in a safe space and they felt like they had free rein to share their views without fear of retribution,” she said.
