Katie Bowman, who has never been convicted of a crime, claims police interest in her – which saw her stopped 70 times for suspected offences ranging from drink-driving to assault – meant she could ‘barely leave the house’.
The 24-year-old alleges she was targeted over 28 months by Thames Valley Police officers from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, after splitting from Alexander Ash.
Miss Bowman says that despite never securing a conviction against her, the force has kept damaging intelligence reports on her which are stopping her getting a job.
She has won the support of her local MP, Attorney General Dominic Grieve, who said he was ‘seriously concerned’ by damning comments held on file about her, which he said bordered on ‘trivial’.
Miss Bowman claims the harassment started in earnest in 2007 when she was 18 and PC Ash, also based in High Wycombe, was disciplined by his force for making inappropriate contact with her after their split.
PC Ash, who denies ever having been in a relationship with Miss Bowman, said this disciplinary action instead related to drunken behaviour on a night out with friends.
Papers obtained by Miss Bowman’s family suggest that more than ten of the 40 intelligence reports on her were filed by a friend and colleague of PC Ash.
