The government is considering introducing a new law to punish sex pest police officers, amid concerns that many predators are going unpunished.
Across the country, forces are looking into more than 150 cases of alleged sexual misconduct by police, while 400 members of the public have made complaints over the past five years, research by the Times revealed.
Many of the officers have been accused of harassing, sexually assaulting or raping women after they came forward to reported a crime, with some targeting victims within police station walls.
In May, then Home Secretary Theresa May acknowledged that officers with 'shameful attitudes' were striking up sexual relationships with vulnerable victims, and ordered an inquiry into the issue.
The Law Commission, an independent body that recommends legal reforms to the government, will consider instigating tougher punishments for officers who abuse their position to prey on victims.
The Times investigation, which relied on Freedom of Information data, revealed that at least 156 sexual misconduct inquiries were ongoing in England, Scotland and Wales - although with only a quarter of forces acknowledging live cases, the scale of the problem is likely to be much larger.
The Freedom of Information requests also revealed that some forces had doled out only minor punishments to officers accused of serious sexual misconduct, including those who had had relationships with victims.
Policing watchdog the Independent Police Complaints Commission has in two and half years received almost 200 referrals of cases in which officers have been accused of exploiting their position for sexual gain - eight of which are currently ongoing.
Recent cases include that of West Midlands Police officer Steve Walters, who sexually assaulted two women while on duty was jailed for four years, and Hertfordshire PC Simon Salway, who was trained to work with victims of domestic violence and targeted women after they had contacted the police for help.
Married Salway was found guilty of six charges of misconduct in a public office in relation to five different women, including one who had a relationship with him and went on to have his baby, and jailed for three years.
The Times also revealed that West Midlands police force harboured prolific paedophile Allan Richards within its ranks for years.
Richards was kept on by the force despite being expelled from the Scout movement after concerns were raised that he was sexually abusing young boys.
He was convicted yesterday of 40 offences against 17 boys during a campaign of abuse spanning four decades.
Earlier this year Mrs May revealed she had asked Sir Tom Windsor, the chief inspector of constabulary to head up investigations into the issue.
'We do not know the true scale of this, but everyone in this room will know it goes on far more than we might care to admit,' she told the Police Federation's annual conference.
