A HUDDERSFIELD police officer who was cleared of rape is back on duty.
West Yorkshire Police have confirmed that some disciplinary action was taken against Pc Mark Carter but he has been allowed to keep his job.
Last June the openly gay Pc was cleared of charges of raping a man and carrying out two sexual assaults.
He was also charged with possessing the anabolic steroid stanozolol and had been due to face a trial but the Crown Prosecution Service discontinued that case after deciding he had the drugs for “a medicinal purpose within the terms of the Medicines Act 1968.’’
At that time the former Mr Gay UK title-holder remained suspended by West Yorkshire Police and was told he could face disciplinary action.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman confirmed yesterday: “The internal disciplinary investigation has been concluded and dealt with by way of a disciplinary sanction.
“The officer has now returned to work.’’
