Former Met Police inspector charged with offences including rape
A former Metropolitan Police inspector will appear in court charged with coercive or controlling behaviour, alongside several counts of rape and misconduct in public office. John Doyle, 53, who was previously attached to the Met's Specialist Firearms Command, was charged by post on Wednesday, 4 February.
His charges include five counts of rape, one count of assault by penetration, two counts of coercive and controlling behaviour, two counts of actual bodily harm and four counts of grievous bodily harm with intent. He has also been charged with two counts of misconduct in public office and one count of possession of extreme pornography.
The offences are alleged to have taken place between 2012 and 2024 and relate to one victim. He will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, 11 February.
Doyle, from Liverpool, was initially arrested on Monday, 24 June 2024 and immediately suspended from duty. On Tuesday, 10 December 2024 he was dismissed from the Met at a hearing held in private due to the ongoing criminal proceedings.
Catherine P Baccas, deputy chief crown prosecutor of CPS London South said: "Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring this case to court and that it is in the public interest to do so". However, she warned that court proceedings were now active and that "the defendant has the right to a fair trial"..
