A MET Police sergeant has appeared in court accused of raping a woman in the sea while on a stag do.
Laurence Knight, 33, is said to have carried out the attack on July 17 last year in Brighton.
He was not on duty at the time but has now been suspended from Stoke Newington Police Station, North London.
Knight, attached to the Met’s Detention Unit, appeared at Westminster magistrates’ court yesterday charged with rape and sexual assault.
He was bailed ahead of a plea and trial hearing at Southwark crown court on August 2.
