Former Essex Police SOIT officer charged with misconduct in public office following IPCC investigation
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has been authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to charge a former Essex Police constable with the offence of misconduct in public office.
Hannah Notley, 30, a former sexual offences trained officer based at Rayleigh Police Station, will appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 25 October.
The charge relates to her alleged failure to properly investigate an allegation of rape between July 2011 and February 2012. It is alleged that she falsely informed her superiors and the victim that the CPS had decided to take no further action, when in fact the case had not been submitted to the CPS.
The IPCC independently investigated the allegations following a referral from Essex Police in June 2012.
