THE Appeal Court has upheld a jury's verdict that a police officer passed confidential police information to her doorman boyfriend.

Clare Woodall, of Keble Park, North Bishopthorpe, North Yorkshire, appealed against her conviction for misconduct in public office, for which she received a 180-hour community punishment order at York Crown Court.

The 29-year-old agreed she was in love with Paul Douglas, doorman at York's Gallery Nightclub, but denied giving him a police log.
