Sexual touch charges in New South Wales

An NSW Police Officer has been found to have engaged in serious misconduct over his treatment of a 15-year-old Aboriginal boy, which included flicking his exposed nipple and making a turkey noise, whilst the boy was sedated.

The incident was investigated by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission ('LECC') which produced a parliamentary report detailing the young person's complaint named 'Operation Kimbla'.

The young person was referred to as 'Civilian KIM1', with the relevant officer labelled 'Officer KIM4'.

The incident was captured on CCTV, which was referred to throughout the report.

On 14 February 2021, officers picked up the 15-year-old over a breach of bail and transported him to a nearby station.
