Officer Mark Kennedy recently admitted to sleeping with two female members of an environmental activist group he was infiltrating, The Telegraph reported Wednesday.
The news of his dalliances sparked confusion about the sex-with-suspects question.
But Nick Herbert, the U.K.'s minister for policing and criminal justice, has finally weighed in.
Herbert said undercover cops can have sex with suspects if not doing so could blow their cover, The Telegraph reported.
