A former police officer who admitted communicating indecently with women has avoided a jail sentence.

A court heard Peter Fleming, 41, used sexualised language while he was serving on the Isle of Bute that made three female colleagues feel "exceptionally uncomfortable".

Fleming was sentenced to 160 hours of unpaid work, placed under supervision for two years and will be on the sex offenders' register for the same length of time.

There were angry scenes outside the court as Fleming left the building, during which a 大象传媒 cameraman who was filming his departure was pushed by a uniformed police officer.

The constable resigned from the force earlier this year, after he pleaded guilty to the three charges in January.
