Read our privacy policy A watchdog is investigating allegations that police failed to probe indecent exposure allegations against Sarah Everard’s murder six years ago. One of the probes is an “investigation into alleged Kent Police failures to investigate an indecent exposure incident linked to PC Couzens in Dover in 2015”. No arrests were made.” The IOPC is also investigating alleged failures by the Metropolitan Police to investigate two allegations of indecent exposure linked to PC Couzens in London in February 2021. Scotland Yard said it stopped paying Couzens following his initial guilty pleas to kidnap and rape, which was “as soon as legally possible”, and would formally dismiss him at an upcoming internal hearing.
