A Met Police officer has been found guilty of assaulting a woman while he was off-duty.
PC Lewis Rollins, from Central West Command Unit, was convicted at Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday following a trial.
Officers launched an investigation on May 18 after receiving a report of an assault inside an address in Balham.
Rollins lied about his identity during his arrest. He was later charged and suspended from duty.
At the same trial, he was found not guilty of intentional suffocation and actual bodily harm, relating to a separate victim.
He will be sentenced in March 2025.
Detective Chief Superintendent Christina Jessah, who leads policing in the Central West area, said: “PC Rollins’ actions are completely unacceptable and at odds with the Met’s values.
“I commend the women who have demonstrated extreme strength and bravery throughout this investigation.
“Our Directorate of Professional Standards is now progressing a misconduct investigation which remains ongoing.”
