Former Metropolitan Police Officer Accused of Rape Threatened Victim with Stabbing, Court Hears

A former Metropolitan Police officer facing trial for multiple counts of rape allegedly tied up one of his victims and threatened to stab her, a jury at Croydon Crown Court has been told.

Cliff Mitchell, 24, residing in Toland Square, Putney, is facing 13 charges of rape, including six counts against a girl, three of which occurred when she was under the age of 13.

The court heard that in September 2023, Mitchell allegedly threatened to stab and slit the throat of one victim, prompting police intervention and the commencement of an investigation.
