DISGRACED former Hampshire police chief has been jailed for a series of humiliating acts on young boys.
Gerry Hutchings, 48, a former police inspector in the New Forest, was sentenced to 16 months in prison for making teenage boys drop their trousers while he was reprimanding them.
Brighton Crown Court, sitting at Brighton Magistrates' Court, heard how Hutchings had 11 victims who he made strip naked and on some occasions touch their toes while he looked on.
Ten of the incidents, which left his victims "embarrassed and frightened", took place in Lyndhurst where he was an inspector for 13 years.
Hutchings was also given an ASBO which will come into force when his sentence is completed.
Judge Cedrick Joseph said Hutchings would serve eight months before being released but would be banned from working unsupervised with children under 18.
