Met Police officer charged with child sex offences

PC Benjamin Jackson, aged 28, has been charged with eight sexual offences involving a girl between 13 and 15 years old. In a separate incident, a man has been charged with sexual assault after touching a mounted Met Police officer on a horse. Authorities believe this specific act is linked to a social media trend where individuals attempt to touch officers. Both cases involve legal proceedings following these distinct allegations of sexual misconduct and assault.
