The officer then brought the woman to a nearby budget hotel and proceeded to solicit sex from her.

She lodged a report against him the next day but in a different district station.

The source explained that the suspect, in his mid-20s has been working in the service for seven years and is married with two children.

“We are looking into his records to see if he has any disciplinary problems in the past," added the source.
