Today former SDS undercover police officer Jim Boyling has been found guilty of gross misconduct for pursuing an unauthorised sexual relationship with ‘Rosa’ (a pseudonym) using his false identity, failing to inform his line management of the extent of his relationship, and disclosing confidential information to his target. 
A Disciplinary Panel convened by the Metropolitan Police heard evidence from his former partner ‘Rosa‘ / DIL, who was deceived into a relationship with Boyling in 1999 when he infiltrated ‘Reclaim the Streets’ and ‘Earth First!’ using the cover identity ‘Jim Sutton’.
