Investigation was sparked after concerns were raised by serving Merseyside Police officer's wife
A police officer has gone on trial accused of abusing his position by allegedly engaging in intimate relationships with "vulnerable" victims of domestic and sexual abuse.
Jurors was told Hoyle, of Yelverton Close in Halewood, first met one of the women in December 2018 after she reported she had been subjected to domestic abuse and assaults at the hands of her former partner. He would go on to attend her home around 15 times, which she believed were visits relating to the ongoing investigation.
"He tried to put his hands down my pants once, but I'm not like that. To be honest, I think the only reason I let him kiss me was because I felt comfortable because he was a police officer." The court was told another woman then contacted the police in November last year after hearing news of Hoyle's arrest and charge on the radio as she drove home from work. He had initially attended her home address back in February 2016 after she reported her ex for harassment.
"He wanted to stay in touch and see how I'd be in a few weeks. I think at the time I blocked his number, because he became quite persistent."
