The CPS has today announced that John Doyle, 53, has been charged with coercive or controlling behaviour alongside several counts of rape and misconduct in public office following allegations in relation to a twelve-year period of offending that was first reported in 2024.
Catherine P Baccas, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor of CPS London South said:
“The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to charge John Doyle with controlling or coercive behaviour, several counts of rape, assault by penetration and misconduct in public office.
“This follows allegations made by a woman relating to a period of alleged abuse spanning 12 years.
“Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring this case to court and that it is in the public interest to do so.
“We have worked closely with the Metropolitan Police as they have carried out their investigation into the allegations.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that proceedings are now active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial.
“It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
