LONDON

Two Metropolitan Police officers have been charged with sexually assaulting a woman while off duty, local media reported on Monday.

Jerome Beasley, 41, and Luke Robinson, 39, who serve in the Central West command unit, face multiple charges related to an alleged incident in central London earlier this year.

The officers, suspended from duties, face four counts of sexual assault each.

The alleged offenses occurred on April 21 at a venue located in the W1 postcode area.

The defendants will appear in Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday to respond to the charges.
