He is currently suspended from duty and a misconduct hearing will be held
A Met Police officer has been found guilty of sexual assault.
PC Christopher Gudgeon, 43, was off-duty during the attack on June 25, 2022, when he sexually assaulted the woman over clothing and kissed her against her will with force.
He admitted trying to kiss her twice, but lied to the court, claiming that when she rejected his advances, he simply left the home they were in.
His victim contacted the police two days later and Gudgeon was arrested the same day.
He was found guilty yesterday (Friday, September 11) at Croydon Crown Court.
Sentencing will take place on November 20 at Inner Crown Court.
Gudgeon is currently suspended from duty. A misconduct hearing will be held.
Detective Chief Superintendent Emma Bond said: “Police officers know that their actions, both on and off duty, are subject to the highest level of scrutiny, and PC Gudgeon’s behaviour was completely unacceptable.
“Thanks to the woman who came forward, and a thorough investigation by detectives, he has been convicted of a serious offence and will now face a misconduct hearing.”
