This Post was an Exclusive Post Today by The sun.co.uk by MIKE SULLIVAN, Crime Editor:

Chief Inspector John Duffy boasted about carrying out the vile act to a stranger he met on a gay dating website. The 46-year-old — who was in charge of the scene where innocent suicide bomb suspect Jean Charles de Menezes was shot dead by cops in 2005 — also claimed to have snorted cocaine.

Shot ... Jean 
Charles de Menezes

The Sun revealed last week how a senior cop was sacked after being found guilty of gross misconduct over web boasts.

But he was not identified — nor were the details of the offences he bragged about revealed.

Now we can reveal a probe into high-flying Duffy was launched after a website user reported him over his lurid sex claims about the 14-year-old lad.

The cop — of the Met's Territorial Policing operations unit in central London — was arrested at his home in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, on suspicion of sexual assault in June last year.

The Kent Police probe concluded there was insufficient evidence to bring any criminal charges.

A source said: "There was no evidence he did have sex with a boy. It was all a fantasy, but an unhealthy one."

After the criminal inquiry was dropped, an internal probe was launched by the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards under the supervision of the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

Duffy was axed last Thursday after a two-day hearing.

The officer was the commander in charge of securing Stockwell Tube station after innocent Brazilian Mr Menezes, 27, was shot dead by armed cops on July 22, 2005.

They had thought he was a fugitive involved in the failed London bombings of the day before.

The IPCC said of Duffy's sacking: "The breaches relate to claims made to members of the public on an interactive dating website that he was a serving police officer and that he had committed criminal offences including drug-taking and a sexual offence."

IPCC Commissioner Mike Franklin said: "Officers hold positions of authority and trust. Those who discredit their role cannot expect to continue to serve the public, and, as in this case, they should be dismissed."
