PC Thurley, of Woking, Surrey, who wore her dark hair tied up in a ponytail, wore a black jumper and grey trousers to the hearing which lasted only a few minutes.

She did not speak during the brief appearance and District Judge Peter Greenfield committed the case to be heard before Southampton Crown Court in January next year.
