Sam Hansen, a 43-year-old officer with Victoria Police, is set to appear in Melbourne Magistrates' Court on July 2, facing charges of stalking his ex-girlfriend, Lisa Lewis, 44. Lewis reported Hansen after he allegedly accessed state CCTV systems to monitor her movements and sent her unsettling messages about her outfits. The couple began dating after meeting on Tinder in November 2024, but their relationship ended when Lewis grew uncomfortable with Hansen's behavior. She claims he showed her surveillance footage of her driving while they were together. Lewis, who has a colorful past including a 2006 incident where she ran onto a rugby field in a bikini, expressed concerns that her history might undermine her complaint. Despite the allegations, Hansen remains employed with the police, though he has been reassigned from the surveillance unit. Lewis's complaint has raised questions about the seriousness with which the police are treating allegations against their own officers.
