Anti-*********** officer Paul Whitehurst jailed for assaulting woman

A former police officer has been jailed for repeatedly attacking his ex-girlfriend, including imprisoning her in her own home, punching her and throwing her across a room.

Paul Whitehurst, who was a detective sergeant in Warwickshire Police’s anti-*********** unit at the time, admitted five charges of ******** by beating.

However, the BBC has also heard complaints about his treatment of two other women were made to his force, but he was not charged.

The officer from Nantwich, in Cheshire, who served with Warwickshire Police for more than 20 years, was jailed for 18 weeks.

Only half of this is to be served in prison.

Judge Simon Berkson, sitting at Chester Crown Court, said Whitehurst was likely to be released the same day, because of the time he had already served.

He told the 53-year-old that all of the offences: “You should have known better.

“What you did in private was very different to your public persona as a police officer.”
