A Victoria Police officer has been charged with rape and five other offences.

The Leading Senior Constable was arrested at Tullamarine this morning over the alleged incident which occurred between July last year and May of this year.

Police said the officer was off duty when the alleged rape occurred.

The officer was interviewed and was also charged with intentionally causing injury and carrying out an indecent act in the presence of a child under the age of 16.

He is due to face the Melbourne Magistrate Court today and was suspended without pay.

The charges follow an investigation by Taskforce Salus, which was set up to look at predatory behaviour and serious sexual harassment made against current and former Victoria Police employees.
