Overview
- A jury at Southwark Crown Court found Fulker guilty on January 9 of sexual assault and attempted sexual assault, with sentencing scheduled for February 27.
- The offences took place on February 12–13, 2024 in a hotel near Heathrow and involved a 17-year-old cadet, a court heard.
- Court reporting said he bought wine and invited the teenager to watch Love Island before touching him and attempting to touch him over his clothing.
- Fulker had earlier pleaded guilty to three counts of misconduct in public office for sending sexualised WhatsApp messages to the victim and another boy while serving as a volunteer cadet leader.
- He was arrested in February 2024, dismissed without notice the following month, placed on the College of Policing barred list, and the Met says it has since inspected and restructured its cadet programme to tighten safeguards.
