A serving Metropolitan Police officer raped two women in 11 days after meeting them in bars while off duty, a court has heard.
Suspended PC Rupert Edwards, 30, is alleged to have raped one woman in Epsom, Surrey, on 26 August 2022 and the other in Lambeth, south London, on 5 September 2022, Inner London Crown Court heard earlier today.
PC Rupert Edwards, from Ashtead, Surrey, denies attacking the complainants, who are in their 20s and 30s:
