A serving Metropolitan Police officer has been charged by Essex Police.
PC Jordan Pascal, of the Met's Taskforce, was charged on February 2 with the rape of a woman in 2009.
He joined the force in June 2021 and has been suspended from duty, the Met said.
Chief Superintendent Claire Smart leads the Met's Taskforce Command. She said:
"PC Pascal has been suspended and criminal proceedings will now follow.
"While I recognise the inevitable strength of public feeling, it is important that nothing is said that will put those proceedings at risk."
Pascal will appear at Southend Magistrates' Court on March 13.
