A trainee police officer who joked about raping a colleague has been told he would have been sacked if he hadn’t already resigned.

Former PC Kennedy Lungu was training with Thames Valley Police in Sulhamstead, Berkshire, when he said “no doesn’t really mean no” when discussing sex.

Other vulgar remarks he allegedly made by a police misconduct panel are too graphic to publish.

Banning him from serving as a police officer for life, the committee said it could find no mitigating circumstances in Mr Lungu’s favor “other than the fact that he was very early in his career”.

The panel was told that a female police officer was collecting her bag from the training center while other colleagues, including Mr Lungu, were waiting to collect theirs.

Mr Lungu told the woman to hurry up and, when asked what he would do if she didn’t, joked that he would rape her.

She also found that after Mr Lungu and his class watched a video about domestic violence, he made a comment that “the woman in question deserved it”.

The panel said a colleague recalled “coming into class on several occasions and former Officer Lungu talking about sex and talking about sex at lunch.”

His behavior was found to be “intentional, deliberate, targeted and planned” and “amounted to abuse of women and girls”.

Mr Lungu did not attend last week’s hearing, which was held at TVP’s headquarters in Kidlington, Oxfordshire.
