Detective jailed for sex assaults is barred from force
Rochdale Observer
|April 23, 2025
A GMP detective who was jailed earlier this year for sexually assaulting two women has been dismissed and barred from policing.
Detective Sergeant Richard Mills was sentenced to 18 months in prison in February after he was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault by a jury verdict in December last year. The convictions involved two incidents of forceful sexual touching in 2016 and 2020.
In both cases, Mills, who is from Rochdale, grabbed his co-worker's hand and forced them to touch his genitals over his trousers.
His offending occurred when he was based in GMP's Oldham District and in the Serious Crime Directorate at Nexus House.
Detectives in GMP's Professional Standards Directorate began investigating Mills in 2016 following a report from a member of staff.
