City of London Police officer charged with rape and assault

A City of London Police officer has denied charges of rape and assault at a court appearance.

An incident allegedly occurred in Staines-upon-Thames in May 2022, when he was off duty.

Mr Condon has been suspended from the force and a trial is set to begin on 3 February.
