A thorough investigation has led to an officer admitting sexual assault during an off-duty incident in December 2022.
Detective Constable Jose Poonsawat, attached to the Central South Command Unit, appeared at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Friday charged with sexual assault.
He pleaded guilty and was released on court bail to appear for sentencing on Friday, August 23.
He was accused of sexually touching a woman without her consent during an off-duty incident on December 16, 2022. He was investigated by the officers from Bromley and the Met’s Domestic Abuse and Sexual Offences team. This sits within our Directorate of Professional Standards.
Commander Seb Adjei-Addoh, who leads policing in Lambeth and Southwark, said, “My thoughts are with the victim who has displayed courage in reporting this sexual assault.
“Officers are quite rightly held to account for wrongdoing by the courts.
“In this case, DC Poonsawat has pleaded guilty and now awaits sentencing.”
