The police told the Mirror Online: “We can confirm an officer is under investigation in relation to allegations of gross misconduct and potential criminal offences.

“He is on restricted ­administrative duties.

“Two further officers are also under investigation following claims of misconduct.”

A source told the paper that Katie is understandably disturbed by these reports.

“Katie is sick to the back teeth of people making her son the butt of tasteless jokes.

“These are grave allegations. Police officers are expected to take any hate crime of this nature with the utmost ­seriousness.

“The powers that be need to get to the bottom of this,” the source said.

Harvey, Katie’s firstborn child, has Prader-Willi Syndrome, is partially blind and autistic.

ED! has approached Katie’s reps for comment.
