The Metropolitan Police have arrested a woman following allegations that she posted malicious content about her former partner, a serving police officer, on Facebook.
According to sources, the woman was taken into custody after her ex-partner reported the posts, claiming they were intended to harass and defame him. The Met confirmed the arrest but declined to provide further details, citing an ongoing investigation.
Rising Concerns Over Online Harassment
The case highlights growing concerns about the misuse of social media to target individuals, particularly those in positions of authority. Legal experts warn that such behaviour could lead to serious consequences, including criminal charges.
Police Conduct Under Scrutiny
This incident also raises questions about how police officers handle personal disputes, especially when they involve social media. Critics argue that serving officers should be held to higher standards, both online and offline.
The woman has since been released on bail pending further inquiries. The Met has urged the public to avoid speculation while the investigation continues.
