Two police officers charged with sexual assault of woman in central London

Two Metropolitan Police officers have each been charged with four counts of sexual assault against a woman in central London.

Jerome Beasley, 41, and Luke Robinson, 39, who work in the force's Central West Command Unit, are set to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

The alleged incident took place in a venue in W1 - which includes parts of Soho, Mayfair and Marylebone - on 21 April, while the police officers were off-duty.

The officers are both currently suspended from duty.

The Met's directorate of professional standards has been informed about the charges.
