EXCLUSIVE Hero police sergeant's career in tatters after molesting two women during birthday party in O'Neills pub
An award-winning police sergeant's career is in ruins after he molested two women during an alcohol-fuelled birthday party at an O'Neills pub, a court heard. Tim Clarkson, 37, was said to have taken the evening as an opportunity to 'try it on' with multiple women as his marriage to a policewoman fell apart. A visibly emotional Clarkson on Friday appeared at Staines Magistrates' Court where he was ordered to complete 200 hours community service work. The hearing was told he has quit Hampshire Constabulary where he was facing certain dismissal and is £40,000 in debt. Last year, Clarkson and four fellow-officers received a National Police Bravery Award after he was first on the scene and successfully disarmed a suspect brandishing a handgun and two explosive devices. The suspect detonated one of the devices and pointed his gun at Clarkson, who tasered him and dragged him from the smoke-filled property in Gosport on August 28, 2023. Clarkson from Warsash, Southampton pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent assault at the Winchester pub on July 20 last year. He will now also have to sign the sex offenders register for the next five years at Southampton Central Police Station. District Judge Julie Cooper said: 'Both offences are incidents of touching with the first lady's hand being taken by Clarkson and placed on his penis over his clothing and pulling another lady towards him and his apparently erect penis.' Elaborating on the first incident Judge Cooper explained: 'He pulled her close to him and said quite a few sexually-related things. 'He said to her: 'What the f*** did you have to bring your boyfriend for?' and that he would like to take her back to his hotel and touched her on top of her clothing. 'It was Mr Clarkson's birthday and he had clearly been drinking and the second lady was dancing when he pulled her into him and caused her to touch what she believed to be his erect penis.' In her victim impact statement the first woman said: 'Sometimes I question myself since this happened and ask myself why I did not turn around and say something. 'He had relationship issues with his wife and this occasion was an opportunity to get drunk and try it on with multiple people. The second woman said in her impact statement: 'I think about what happened, going over and over the events as to why this happened. 'I have had to start taking anti-depressants again and have had three panic attacks at home. Judge Cooper also ordered Clarkson to pay £500 compensation to each victim and complete ten days of a rehabilitation activity requirement. 'The pre-sentence report sets out clearly what happed and as a result of this the marriage, that was rocky, has completely broken down and I am aware Mr Clarkson has resigned, knowing that he would have been sacked. 'He has given service, excellent service to the public and is a person of good character, but acted appallingly against two women [...],' said the judge. 'They were all on night out and all seemed to have been drinking, but this does not excuse his behaviour. 'To impose less than five hundred pounds compensation to each woman would be derisory.'

Kangaroo on road could have caused triple-fatal crash
Three people are dead and another has been critically injured after a horror crash on a regional road that police suspect might have been caused by a kangaroo. The collision involving two SUVs occurred about 7.20am on Sunday on Bolinda-Darraweit Road in the Macedon Ranges, northwest of Melbourne. The triple fatality brought the number of lives lost on Victorian roads in 72 hours to six, prompting renewed warnings from authorities. Three people travelling in one SUV died at the scene, while two others involved in the crash were taken to hospital, one of whom had life-threatening injuries. A dead kangaroo was found near the scene, with police looking into whether one of the SUVs had veered to avoid it. 'It appears one of the vehicles has veered into incoming traffic ... and they've collided head-on, which has caused the catastrophic scene,' Senior Sergeant Ben Morris told reporters. 'We're not 100 per cent sure ... we're still working through the scene to confirm the involvement of the animal.' A motorist died hours later after a head-on collision on the Western Highway in Buangor, about 181km west of Melbourne. Three people died after two vehicles crashed in the Macedon Ranges, northwest of Melbourne Police were called to the scene after a car reportedly veered onto the wrong side of the freeway and collided with another vehicle. The driver of the first car died at the scene and has yet to be formally identified. The second car's driver was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, while a female passenger was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries. In a separate incident on Saturday night, a rider died and another is fighting for life after a crash involving two motorcycles and two vehicles on the Western Freeway at Grangefields, near Melbourne. A 16-year-old boy died in the city's east on Friday after being hit by a car, while an e-bike rider was critically injured in Geelong. Road Policing Command Superintendent Justin Goldsmith said most of the serious collisions at the weekend were on regional roads. 'Every life lost is one too many,' he said. 'What we have seen this weekend has been devastating and there are many families whose lives have changed forever as a result of the trauma on our roads.' Ambulance Victoria CEO Jordan Emery described the fatalities and injuries as the most horrific of circumstances. 'As a paramedic, I realise that these events are part of our job, but the tragic loss of life through road trauma is especially tough,' he said. 'If there is one message we can send, it's to please take care when on the road. The impact is felt well beyond those behind the wheel.' There have been 156 lives lost on Victorian roads this year, 15 more than the same time in 2024.
