A Metropolitan police officer has been remanded in custody on Monday after denying a rape allegation in court.

The hearing came as Britain’s criminal justice system is under pressure to prosecute rape allegations more aggressively in the wake of Sarah Everard’s abduction, rape, and murder in March by then-serving Met officer Wayne Couzens.
