A SENIOR detective convicted for setting up a fake dating profile and sending men to his former girlfriend's house has been sacked from the police force.

Police Commissioner Mal Hyde terminated Detective Senior Sergeant Darren James Clohesy's employment at a disciplinary hearing this morning.

Mr Chohesy did not attend the hearing nor send a representative.

Mr Clohesy last week was convicted in the Adelaide Magistrates Court of unlawful operation of a computer, offensive behaviour and breach of bail.

In court he admitted unlawfully accessing the SA Police database, and breaching his bail, while working with a conspirator to humiliate his former girlfriend Tania Milsom.

In sentencing, Chief Magistrate Bolton said the "SexyMillie888" internet profile was used to impersonate Ms Milsom and falsely claim she wanted sex with strangers.

Mr Clohesy, she said, provided Ms Milson's address and house plans so unwitting suitors could knock on her bedroom window.

A police spokesman said Mr Clohesy was given notice of the hearing to "show cause why his employment should not be terminated".

"The Commissioner deemed Mr Clohesy's offending was of a serious nature and his behaviour unacceptable and incompatible with the service expected of a police officer," the spokesman said.

In sentencing Mr Clohesy last week, Chief Magistrate Liz Bolton said: "To describe your behaviour as despicable would be an understatement."
