Ex-Detective Sues North Wales Police for £344,000 Over Alleged Tainted Probe Into Fiancée’s Affair

Court filings cite a conflict involving the investigating senior officer, who later married the colleague under scrutiny.

Overview

  • The former detective has lodged a £344,000 High Court claim in Liverpool, split between £200,000 for personal injury and £144,000 for lost earnings.
  • He alleges his then‑fiancée, DC Rebecca Hutt, had a sexual relationship with DC Shaun Parry at St Asaph station and that Parry was moved to Wrexham instead of facing discipline.
  • Court papers assert the internal probe was led by Det Supt Steve Williams while he was allegedly involved with Hutt; Williams denies any relationship at the time and calls the claims malicious.
  • Fearon says his access fob was revoked after he raised concerns, his requests for an external investigation were refused, and he resigned citing psychiatric injury.
  • Parry was dismissed without notice in 2019 over separate inappropriate‑behaviour allegations; the case is listed for a six‑day hearing in Liverpool in July and North Wales Police declined to comment during active proceedings.
