Met Police officer cleared of being ‘new Wayne Couzens’ after allegations by ‘fantasist’

Wayne Couzens has been sentenced for three exposure crimes carried out while he was a serving Metropolitan Police officer.

Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Goodwin, who leads the Specialist Crime Command team that also investigated the murder of Sarah Everard, said: “Those who came forward have shown strength and dignity in the face of Couzens’ attempts to scare and demean them for his own satisfaction.

“I would like to recognise their patience and cooperation throughout the case, and thank them for standing up to him. Without them justice could not have been served.”

DAC Stuart Cundy, who leads the Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards, said: “Today’s sentencing reflects the impact these awful crimes committed by Couzens’ has had on the women he targeted.
