Two Met Police officers charged with West End sexual assault
Two Metropolitan Police officers are accused of sexually assaulting a woman at London’s Hippodrome Casino during an off-duty visit to the West End venue.
PCs Jerome Beasley, 42, and Luke Robinson, 39, face four charges each of sexual assault dating back to Sunday, April 21.
Both are attached to the Central West Command Unit which covers Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster.
They were off-duty at the time, a force spokesman said.
He added: “The Directorate of Professional Standards is aware.
“Both officers are currently suspended from duty and are scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, November 20.”
According to the charges released on Monday afternoon, Beasley face claims that “intentionally touched a woman and that touching was sexual when she did not consent and you did not reasonably believe that she was consenting”.
The officers are expected to appear together in the dock at Westminster magistrates court on Wednesday at 10am.
