Police officers disciplined over failings in case of Grindr killer Stephen Port have been promoted

Five Metropolitan Police officers who were disciplined over failings that let Stephen Port slay four young queer people were promoted.

In a campaign of terror that seized Britain’s LGBT+ community, Stephen Port murdered at least four young men over 16 months and raped many more.

He targeted his victims on queer dating apps to drug, rape and kill them before disposing of their bodies by his East London apartment.

The Central Criminal Court sentenced Port to life in prison in 2016.

An inquest jury ruled Friday (10 December) that mistakes made by the Metropolitan Police, the force that covers London, “probably” contributed to the death of his victims. 

Five cops, in fact, who were reprimanded for “performance failings” have since been promoted to more senior ranks.
