A former Sussex Police officer, PC Christopher Mallet, is set to face court after being charged with two counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. The allegations date back to May 2019 when Mallet, 40, was off-duty and reportedly assaulted a woman he met through a dating app.
Sussex Police have yet to comment on the case, and Mallet is no longer employed by the force.
