Rape charges against police officer dropped - but he remains suspended and may still face disciplinary action

Charges against a police officer accused of rape and false imprisonment have been dropped.

In March, Christopher Henderson, 40, from Cheadle Hulme, was charged with four counts of rape and one of false imprisonment. He appeared in court and was suspended from duty by Greater Manchester Police.

Now it has emerged that all charges against the officer have been dropped after prosecutors carried out a review of evidence. He remains suspended from duty and may still face internal misconduct proceedings, according to Greater Manchester Police.
