A MET sergeant was blackmailed over a video of him being whipped by a dominatrix dressed as Cat Woman, a court heard.
Frank Partridge, 50, claimed he was a functioning alcoholic while working as a licensing officer in London's West End.
Detectives found the video on the phone of Ryan Bishti, 43, the owner of Cirque Le Soir nightclub in Soho.
Both men, who deny being in a corrupt relationship, are on trial at Southwark crown court, South London, with five others on bribery charges.
