Met Police The Metropolitan Police are investigating allegations that two female officers were raped by a male colleague. The male officer was not charged or suspended, but is to face a misconduct hearing, more than three years after the claims were made, a BBC investigation with the Bureau of Investigative Journalism found. Both women were reportedly involved in abusive relationships with the unnamed officer, before being introduced to each other by a mutual friend. The BBC said they made separate allegations of physical and sexual assault in 2017, which were denied by the male officer. An investigation by Essex Police and the Crown Prosecution Service was then reportedly dropped in 2019 because of a lack of evidence.
