An Australian detective has been arrested after using the police network and database to find out the addresses of women he liked.

The un-named detective sergeant has been charged with 22 charges of using a police computer to access the car registration details of women he had seen, using their details to contact two of them. He has been suspended from his post after he was charged by the Corruption and Crime Commission with corruption.

He was also charged with playing a police video interview to an unauthorised person and taking photos of himself having sex with a woman and emailing them to other people without her consent. CCC investigations manager Trevor Wynn said when police investigated the detective sergeant they found printouts from the police computer system including details of a large number of women.

The police also found a diary belonging to the detective sergeant which had references to the computer print-outs and details about the women named in them. He has been bailed to appear at the Perth Magistrates Court on August 22. Check it out on WA Today, here. X
