Police are investigating claims a serving woman police officer had sex on a city centre bar's balcony during a reunion bash.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) says its Professional Standards Branch is looking into claims that the woman had sex with a former officer at the Rain Bar on February 12.

An alleged witness told the Manchester Evening News it happened on the balcony of an upstairs room hired for the private function.

He said: "It was seen by a large number of people. One group had a look and then another.

“People could not believe what they were seeing.”

A police spokesman said: "Officers are carrying out an assessment, which includes speaking to bar staff and people present at the event as well as viewing CCTV footage, to establish if anything occurred that would require further investigation.

“While there is no evidence of this incident occurring at this stage, we would encourage anyone who witnessed anything that could be relevant to call Professional Standards."

“We expect our officers and staff to uphold the highest professional and personal standards, even when off duty, and if this incident is proved to have happened it would be completely unacceptable."
