Ex-glamour model wins ‘£200K’ legal battle after cop filmed her sunbathing naked using helicopter cam
A FORMER Page 3 girl filmed sunbathing naked in her garden by a perv policeman in a helicopter has won her £200,000 legal battle with police, it’s reported.
Tracy Dixon, 54, sued after claiming police caused her distress as they have not revealed how often she was spied on.
‘Sex-obsessed’ Pogmore was jailed in 2017[/caption]She said “sex-obsessed” swinger Adrian Pogmore, 53, would hover over her home at least three times a week and film her and her daughters – the youngest of whom was eight at the time.
The mum-of-three took action after Pogmore was jailed for a year in 2017.
Pogmore admitted four counts of misconduct in public office, using the South Yorkshire Police helicopter for “sexual spying”.
The force come to a settlement with Tracy, but refused to say if they paid her the full £200,000 she was demanding, The Mirror reports.
PERV COP
Pogmore used a powerful lens to capture the mum-of-three and her daughters, 18, 15 and eight.
On a video, taken in 2007, the police helicopter had circled Tracy’s home as she lay naked on a sun lounger.
A statement from South Yorkshire Police said: “All parties are bound under the confidentiality schedule relating to these proceedings.
“All criminal, civil and misconduct proceedings have concluded.”
The force is believed to have paid Tracy’s legal costs, The Mirror says.
‘SEX-OBSESSED’
Former glamour model Tracy has previously said of Pogmore: “He is a taxpayer-funded pervert.
“While he was flying around for his own sexual kicks criminals were on the run.”
Her nightmare began in October 2014 when South Yorkshire cops told her they had discovered footage taken by Pogmore of her sunbathing naked in the secluded garden of her remote home.
Pogmore was an Air Observer working as part of South Yorkshire Police’s helicopter crew.
He had also used the £2 million chopper to film his “swinging” pals romping on their patio for eight minutes.
Another couple who were naked by their caravan were also filmed.
Pogmore was described as “sex-obsessed” and pleaded guilty to misconduct.
Two other police officers and two pilots who were in the helicopter were cleared of misconduct.

When Tracy was told the identity of the officer she was horrified to realise they had gone to school together in nearby Rotherham.
She was filmed in her garden for up to five years after the cop, who went to school with her, tracked her down.
Tracy has previously said she believes there are more tapes of her naked even though she was only shown one.
