More than 300 police officers have been accused of using their position to sexually exploit people, including victims of crime, a report has said.
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary said abuse of authority for sexual gain was now the "most serious" form of corruption facing police in England and Wales.
The National Police Chiefs' Council described the problem as a "disease".
The report acknowledged that more needed to be done to "root it out and inoculate policing for the future".
