‘She said this a couple more times before calling me a p****.’

Pritchard, a mother to a little girl, said she was left feeling suicidal after accusations that she was a ‘sexual predator’ and colleagues’ complaints.

She was cleared of criminal wrongdoing but is accused of gross misconduct for her behaviour during the bash at a rugby club where she ‘twerked’ on the dance floor.

PC Pritchard cried as she fought to keep her job, saying: ‘I am really sorry. I am so sorry.’

The former NHS worker and prison guard said she joined North Wales Police in 2023 as it was her ‘dream job’ to become an officer.

But she was suspended whilst still in her probationary period. She has said none of the alleged gropes were sexual and would have been accidental contact at most.

She said CCTV showed a ‘consensual’ kiss with a male named only as PC B, and that she was ‘clearly very intoxicated’ when she tried to kiss an inspector.

She said: ‘My behaviour that evening was inappropriate. I’ve never acted like that before. I’m absolutely mortified at the allegations.

‘The statements and the CCTV that I have seen and heard, that’s not who I am. I am not that person – I don’t recognise myself on that CCTV. I would never mean to offend anyone. I am not that kind of person I am a good person.’

The mother-of-one broke down in tears, adding: ‘I’ve let down the police force, myself, my friends and family, and most of all I’ve let down my little girl. Please don’t think I’ve gone away, and I haven’t thought about this from the moment I woke up to the moment I go to sleep.’

But she told the panel: ‘I am straight. I am not a lesbian.’
