A serving Metropolitan Police officer has been charged with multiple sexual offences, including four counts of rape, the force has confirmed.
Pc Dion Arnold, 32, who is attached to the South West Command Unit, was charged on March 31 with four counts of rape, two counts of assault by penetration and one count of sexual assault.
The charges relate to a report made earlier this year, with the alleged offences occurring while Arnold was off duty. It is believed the incidents took place in Surrey and involved a single victim.
Arnold appeared at Guildford Magistrates' Court on March 31 and was remanded in custody. He is due to next appear at Guildford Crown Court on May 1.
The Met's Directorate of Professional Standards has been informed of the case, Scotland Yard said.
