Former Metropolitan Police officer Mark Tyrrell, 55, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court, facing 15 counts of sexual assault and two of rape, along with other charges including perverting the course of justice and misconduct in public office. These charges, spanning from 2017 to 2023, involve one victim whom he allegedly met during his policing duties. Tyrrell, who was part of the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, retired during the investigation initiated by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). Separately, serving Met Police officer PC Jake Cummings, 25, faces trial at St Albans Crown Court for multiple charges including rape, stalking, controlling behavior, and voyeurism, involving three female victims. The Met's Directorate of Professional Standards is aware, and Cummings has been suspended from duties. Both cases highlight ongoing issues within the Metropolitan Police involving allegations of serious misconduct by officers.
