A UK police officer who enjoyed sending text messages about his attraction to underage girls and how his “rape fantasies” played out is out of a job.

Northumbria Police Constable Blake Payne-Humphries had only been on the force for six months when he texted a sexually explicit photo to a female staffer member, according to testimony at his misconduct trial, BBC News reported Monday. Payne-Humphries didn’t stop there and proceeded with more sexting, including a message that women “wanted to be raped.” The misconduct panel determined that the officer’s conduct was “grossly offensive” behavior that could not be excused.

On another occasion on Sept. 1, 2022, Payne-Humphries took a picture of his penis while he was using the bathroom and sent that to the same woman. He was on duty at the time at the Southwick Police Station, Sunderland. He then asked the woman to respond with something “hot.” She sent him a series of photos of women for his assessment and one of them really caught his attention because “she looks about 12.”

He viewed another picture and said she was "so young and was hot too,” according to BBC. He also described to her his desire to bring a transgender child into his house so he could “sexually abuse” the person.

Payne-Humphries was not present at his own misconduct hearing but the panel was told he did not deny “at any time” the veracity of the incidents of him texting either the pictures or the messages. The panel deemed this to be "predatory behavior.”

It also said the constable had "belittled women and young girls" and was "discriminatory” towards the transgender community. The hearing found Payne-Humphries guilty of gross misconduct and fired him effective immediately. His name was also put on the police barred list, meaning he cannot apply for work with another police force in the UK.
