(Picture: PA Wire)Almost 150 Metropolitan Police officers have been accused of domestic violence against their spouses or partners in the last two years, an Evening Standard investigation has revealed.
A Freedom of Information request found 129 male officers and 18 female officers had faced domestic abuse allegations — but just eight per cent were charged. This amounts to more than one woman a week coming forward in London to report that their husband or partner, a serving officer in the Met, has been seriously abusing them.
