A London police officer is facing sexual assault-related charges in relation to off-duty incidents involving a person they were in a relationship with between 2021 and 2022.

Police say a 25-year-old officer and the female victim had been involved in a relationship, so to protect the identity of the woman, the officer’s name will not be released.

The incidents, which police say occurred between August of 2021 and February of 2022, were reported to police on March 10, 2022.

On Friday the officer was charged with two counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual assault with choking, police say.
