A woman sues the with Police about a 999 caller who made inappropriate comments about Sarah Everard and a rape victim labels a 'slut'.
Issy Vine, 30, claims constructive dismissal after the male staff member had made a series of comments to her during a service before she followed her home.
Mrs. Vine, from Wimbledon, southwestern, filed a formal complaint against her colleague, so that he was dismissed for coarse misconduct in November 2023.
But the call handler appealed and was recovered in the armed forces after bosses had ruled that the panel had been too 'emotional' after the recent release of a destructive report from Baroness Casey who labeled the institutional racist and misogynistic.
Now Mrs. Vine sues the power after she claims that she is unable to work with the handler.
The man, who is not called, would have called a rape victim a “slut” while taking a report of a victim who said she had become pregnant and had contracted an STD as a result of the attack.
Mrs. Vine said that after hearing this, her colleague covered his mouth with his hand and told her: “She sounds like a slut.”
She also told De Telegraaf that he later, while she was calling, bumped her and said: “Can I be unkind? I just had a phone call from an immigrant. '

She said he then showed her his phone, on which he had written, “Why don't you go back to your own country?”
In a third incident in the same shift, Mrs. Vine claims that he described Clapham Common as 'Sarah Everard Turf'.
Mrs. Everard was abducted from Clapham Common by serving with Officer Wayne Couzens before he raped and killed her.
Mrs. Vine also told the newspaper that, despite informing her, he lived in the opposite direction of her, the colleague followed her on a bus and the tube while she went home at 11 p.m.
Although he was initially dismissed after Mrs. Vine's whistle, the staff member was restored in March 2024 after a successful appeal that the ruling was 'too hard'.
In November, MS Vine followed a complaint against the Met, but resigned in November after he had not felt with him.
She is now looking for damage to constructive dismissal, sexual harassment, whistleblowing and the failure to make reasonable adjustments.
Mrs. Vine said: 'I always wanted to come to the police to help people, because that is what the police are doing. I want people to feel safe, knowing that they can depend on an authority with decent people behind it.

'But now I am worried whether that is actually the case or whether the people who are employed are part of the problem.
'And even if you try to bring that to light, you will be dragged by a poor and terrible misconduct process.
“I thought I was part of an organization that wanted to eradicate this behavior and did not want to give it any second opportunities.”
She added that she had lost a 'lifelong career' and is now suffering from fear.
Commander Jason Prins of the Telegraph told: 'These discriminatory comments were completely unacceptable, so this issue was brought to misconduct.
“We take the concerns of the former staff member about the outcome of the misconduct process extremely seriously and it is subject to a thorough assessment.”
No date has yet been set for the hearing.
