A police officer has been sacked without notice after selling himself for sex while on sick leave.
Det Con Richard Holder of Sussex Police resigned before his dismissal at a disciplinary hearing on Monday.
Ch Con Giles York told the hearing at force headquarters in Lewes that Holder advertised on the AdultWork.com website.
The Police Federation said Holder admitted all of the allegations and had apologised for his lack of judgement.
He is the second Sussex Police officer to have been caught advertising his services as a prostitute in less than two years.
In December 2016, Hastings-based police constable Daniel Moss was dismissedafter advertising himself as a male prostitute.
Last year it also emerged Insp Tony Lumb of Sussex Police could face criminal charges over claims he had sex with women he met while on duty.

Crooks took gnome prisoners when they made off with two unique “nude” ornaments from a Dundee garden.
Yvonne and Dougy Barron have a host of different ornaments in their garden, but have now been stripped of a couple of their favourites after thieves struck.

The figures, which look like they are enjoying a spot of sunbathing, were naked apart from their iconic hats and boots — although Mrs Gnome also kept her pants on.
The couple bought the handmade characters while browsing a car boot sale in Errol.
Yvonne said she was taken by the ornaments, which were £10 each, because they “appealed to her sense of humour” — and she gave them pride of place in their Dykehead Place garden in Stobswell.

The Delhi Crime Branch has arrested a father and son on the pretext of selling a product to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO).
The con artists used space suits and dressed like scientists for the act to be foolproof.
According to the Crime Branch, Virendra Mohan Brar (56) and his son Nitin Mohan Brar (30) lured a victim saying their company could arrange the sale of 'RP' to space agencies at cost of around Rs 37,500 crore after testing its genuineness, which would be done by scientists and some chemicals would be imported for the same.
The complainant was lured that if he invests money for the said testing, he can also earn a handsome amount.
Narendra, a resident of Delhi and a garment businessman approached the crime branch that he has been cheated by Virender Mohan Brar, Nitin Brar and others to the tune of Rs 1.43 crore on pretext of investing money for buying and testing Rice Puller.
Rice Puller (RP) is basically a non-existent object, but cheats take a copper plate or utensil and coat it with liquid magnet and then put in some boiled rice with small iron wires and befool the victim by pulling the iron-clad rice grain towards the magnet coated copper article.
The cheats further befool the victim stating that the object is a rare piece of copper, which is struck by thunderbolt in the hills of Uttarakhand giving it power to pull rice and the same is being used by NASA and DRDO in advanced space research.
They tell the victims that the object will be purchased by NASA and DRDO for thousands of crores of rupees, but they will test it before buying and the testing expenses are to be borne by the seller. They lure the victims to finance the testing bit of it in the lieu of a share in the selling price which is thousands of crores.

So this extraordinarily lenient sentence was apparently not lenient enough and so she has been appealing against it. And thankfully losing.
