Wayne Couzens charged with four counts of indecent exposure

Wayne Couzens, the police officer who killed Sarah Everard, has been charged with four counts of indecent exposure that predate her murder.

The alleged offences are said to have taken place between January and February 2021, when Couzens was a serving Metropolitan Police officer.

Rosemary Ainslie, head of the CPS Special Crime Division, said: “Following a referral of evidence by the Metropolitan Police, the CPS has authorised four charges of indecent exposure against Wayne Couzens.

“He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 13 April.”

Sarah Everard was raped and killed in March last year.

Her murder sparked public outrage, leading to investigations into the Metropolitan Police and the culture of the police force.

Vigils were held across the country, with the held at Clapham Common seeing clashes between organisers and police officers

Couzens is serving a whole-life term for the abduction, rape and murder of Ms Everard.
