A serving Metropolitan police officer has been charged with attempted rape, allegedly committed 10 years ago, the force said.
Sgt Elliot Butler, attached to the Central East command unit, was also charged with causing a male to engage in penetrative sexual activity.
The alleged offences are said to have taken place in 2013 when he was a Met special constable.
Butler was bailed to appear at Westminster magistrates court on Monday.
He has been suspended from duty.
