Police officers made 'sickening' comments about an assault victim while watching a body-worn video of her having a seizure with her groin and chest exposed.

Three Thames Valley Police PCs watched and ridiculed footage of a woman's body being exposed in a police van in Newbury, Berkshire, the BBC have revealed.

The incident happened when the victim was arrested, handcuffed and held in leg restraints after officers believed she had committed an assault, despite having been assaulted herself.

There is no public evidence that any of the officers involved faced a misconduct hearing, while the student officer who reported them was later dismissed.

Thames Valley Police said the remarks caught in the recording were 'unacceptable' and had reported the incident to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

However, the force did not voluntarily refer the officers' ridiculing of the woman at the time of the incident, something the IOPC says it would have expected them to do.
