Ex-Head of UK Police Watchdog Charged with Rape and Sexual Offences

Michael Lockwood, the former head of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), has been charged with six counts of indecent assault and three counts of rape against a girl under 16, alleged to have been committed during the 1980s. Lockwood left the IOPC in December after it emerged he was being investigated over a historical allegation. His lawyers said he "strenuously denies" the allegations. He is due to appear at Hull Magistrates' Court on 28 June.
