A police inspector, Justin Ellerton, who abandoned a sex worker without paying, has been publicly identified after a legal challenge overturned an anonymity order. The force initially sought to keep his name secret. Ellerton, a former Llanelli neighborhood inspector, resigned after admitting gross misconduct. He had arranged to meet the sex worker for services but left without paying. This case highlights concerns about police transparency, with another officer, "Officer F," also shielded from public identification despite admitting to a crime.
