A man who once served as a Metropolitan Police officer has pleaded not guilty to eight charges of sex offences committed against a woman and a girl.

Additionally, he is charged with five counts of indecent assault against a girl under the age of 16 from 1989 to 1990 when he was still a teenager. His trial date for these charges is scheduled for November 3rd, 2025.
