PC Rupert Edwards was also accused of raping another woman but jurors failed to return a verdict.
A serving Metropolitan Police officer has been found not guilty of raping a woman he met at a bar while off duty.The jury was unable to return a verdict on a second count of rape, relating to a different woman in Lambeth, south London, on 5 September 2022.Met PC did not stop when woman said no, court hears
In a prepared statement given to police, Mr Edwards said all sexual activity with the first woman was consensual and at no point did she indicate that she was not consenting, the court previously heard.They took a taxi to her home, where they had consensual sex "at least once, possibly twice", the court heard.
The prosecution alleged that Mr Edwards initiated further sexual intercourse against the woman's wishes, to which Mr Edwards said: "I do not agree with that". The second woman told the trial they had engaged in consensual sexual activity in Lambeth, south London, but that she had "told him from the outset there could be no intercourse" because they did not have any condoms.
The woman said Mr Edwards agreed to this but she was later awoken when he raped her, prosecutors said.He told the court that they had been a "similar level of drunk" and that he was "shocked and surprised" to be arrested the next morning.
