A serving Metropolitan Police officer has been charged with rape. PC Jorden Brown has been charged with rape and three counts of actual bodily harm, the force said. The charged relate to alleged incidents that occurred between November 2018 and February 2019 whilst he was off-duty and relate to a person known to him. The force also confirmed that Brown, who was attached to the Central East Command Unit, has been suspended from duty.
Det Supt Dan Rutland, from Central East Command Unit where PC Brown was attached, said: “PC Brown has been suspended and criminal proceedings will now follow.
“While I recognise the inevitable strength of public feeling, it is important that nothing is said that will put those proceedings at risk.”
The force confirmed that the allegations were brought to police in October 2019 and an investigation was launched.
