A DETECTIVE sergeant from Ipswich has admitted harassing a former partner and fellow officer.
Det Sgt Panicos Monk, 44, left his family for his fellow detective in 2009 but the relationship broke down.
Monk then sent 200 abusive text messages, Facebook messages and e-mails and accosted her in the street, between February 2012 and April of this year.
He appeared at Norwich Magistrates’ Court and admitted one charge of harassment without violence and was given a two-year community order and a three-year restraining order.
He was also ordered to pay the woman £500 in compensation.
A spokesman for Suffolk Police said an internal investigation is still taking place.
