Two allegations of sexual assault were made against serving male police officers in Gwent over five years, figures reveal.

It comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson says there is “a massive job” to be done in restoring women’s confidence in police after the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police officer.

Figures obtained by RADAR under the Freedom of Information Act show two sexual assault complaints were made against Gwent Police officers between 2016 and 2020.

The data does not specify if the officers were on or off duty at the time the alleged incidents occurred.
