Met PC charged with rape and voyeurism offences

A serving Metropolitan Police officer is due to appear at court after being charged with additional sex offences including rape and voyeurism.

PC Jake Cummings, 25, was charged in February with raping a woman as well as charges of stalking and controlling and coercive behaviour.

He appeared at court in June, but the Metropolitan Police said he had been charged with more offences involving another two victims.

PC Cummings, from Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, has been suspended from duties, the Met Police said, adding its Directorate of Professional Standards was aware of the criminal proceedings.

According to the Met, PC Cummings is due to appear at St Albans Crown Court on 2 September to face two counts of rape, three counts of stalking, three counts of controlling and coercive behaviour and three counts of voyeurism.

The Met Police said the charges related to three female victims and followed an investigation by Hertfordshire Constabulary.

Hertfordshire Constabulary said the charges related to one victim from Hertfordshire, one from Buckinghamshire and one from Dorset.
