A former police constable has been jailed for 18 months for offering to sell a salacious story about a "womanising and bullying" colleague to The Sun.

A jury took just over an hour and a half to find ex-Wiltshire Police officer Darren Jennings (not pictured) guilty of committing misconduct in a public office following a trial at the Old Bailey.

The 41-year-old, of Saffron Walden, Essex, had denied asking the tabloid to pay £10,000 for information about his colleague, Sergeant Mark Andrews, in September 2010, claiming he was "set up".
