Two Metropolitan Police officers, Jerome Beasley and Luke Robinson, were sentenced for sexually assaulting a woman at the Hippodrome Casino in central London in April 2024. The officers repeatedly touched the woman’s breasts despite her pleas to stop, while off duty. Both officers were given suspended jail sentences – 18 months for Beasley and 15 months for Robinson – and were ordered to complete unpaid work, rehabilitation, and adhere to a curfew. The judge described their behavior as an “embarrassment” to the police force and acknowledged public concern regarding the conduct of Metropolitan Police officers. The victim stated the assault caused her panic attacks and PTSD, and she felt her intoxication was exploited.
