5 Years After Everard's Murder, Police Sex Crimes Surge

Five years after Sarah Everards murder, a new investigation uncovers a troubling trend: dozens of serving police officers in England and Wales have faced criminal probes for rape and sexual offenses.

The Metropolitan Police, in particular, saw more than a quarter of officers under investigation for sexual misconduct continue working without restrictions.

Government reforms aim to tighten suspension rules and overhaul the misconduct system, but police leaders acknowledge more work is needed to rebuild trust.
