"Your behaviour was of itself obviously offensive to all right-thinking people. 'There is, rightly, grave public concern at present concerning conduct of officers of the Metropolitan Police. 'The public is entitled to expect much better. 'Your actions not only shame yourselves directly, but cause embarrassment and frustration for the vast majority of those serving who do uphold the high standards of behaviour that the public expect from the police."
"Judge Mark Weekes handed Robinson a 15-month jail sentence and Beasley an 18-month sentence, both suspended for two years. Beasley, of North Harrow, north-west London, and Robinson, of Northampton, were also each ordered to complete 250 hours of unpaid work and a 30-day rehabilitation activity requirement. An overnight curfew was also imposed on both men for five months. They were each given a five-year restraining order, told to pay 750 compensation to the victim and 150 in costs."
Two off-duty Metropolitan Police officers sexually assaulted a woman in a rooftop bar at the Hippodrome Casino near Leicester Square during the early hours of 22 April 2024. CCTV footage showed Jerome Beasley and Luke Robinson repeatedly touching the woman’s breasts in view of others while she pleaded for them to stop. Both men admitted three counts of sexual assault shortly before trial, were sacked from the Met’s Central West Command Unit, and changed their pleas to guilty. Sentences were suspended: 18 months for Beasley and 15 months for Robinson, plus unpaid work, rehabilitation, curfews, restraining orders, and compensation payments. The judge condemned their conduct and noted public concern about police behaviour.
