A Metropolitan Police officer, PC Isaque Rodrigues-Leite, has been convicted on multiple charges, including false imprisonment and assault, and now faces an upcoming misconduct hearing. Rodrigues-Leite, who served in the Roads and Transport Policing Command (RTPC), was found guilty of four counts of false imprisonment, two counts of assault by beating, one count of coercive and controlling behaviour, and one count of criminal damage at a trial held at Croydon Crown Court.

The court heard that over two years, between 2019 and 2020, PC Rodrigues-Leite engaged in a pattern of threats and intimidation against a woman he knew. Despite being acquitted of two counts of false imprisonment and one count of making threats to kill, the weight of the convictions has led to significant repercussions.
