The allegation stems from terms of reference of Hampshire Constabulary’s internal meetings regarding a child abuse investigation in 2013, called Operation Flamborough.

Mr Marsh was previously investigated for 12 months by Essex Police Chief Constable Steve Kavanagh following a complaint in 2013.

No ‘grounds to justify’ misconduct proceedings were found and the complaints were not upheld.
