A police constable has been charged with six counts of rape and one count of indecent assault.



Adam Provan, 38, of the Metropolitan police, is alleged to have assaulted three females aged 15-20 between 2002 and 2016, a force spokesman said.

He has been charged with one count of indecent assault relating to an alleged incident in 2002 with a girl who was then 15, two counts of rape in 2010 with a 16-year-old, and four counts of rape in 2016 with a woman aged 20.

Provan, who has been suspended from duty, was previously attached to the east area command unit based in the London borough of Barking and Dagenham.

He was due to appear at Barkingside magistrates court on Wednesday.
