Police officer charged with double rape and other sex offences against two women in horror attacks | The Sun

A SERVING police officer has been charged with two counts of rape and other sexual offences against two women.

PC Ravi Canhye, 46, is alleged to have committed eight sexual offences against two women, including two charges of rape, while off duty in early 2022.

The 46-year-old was suspended by Dorset Police at the time the allegations were made against him.

A police statement confirmed Canhye has remained suspended throughout the investigation.

The cop is due to appear in Poole Magistrates' Court on Friday to answer the charges.

A Dorset Police spokesperson said: "We understand that charges of this nature will quite rightfully cause concern within our communities.

"However, due to the ongoing legal proceedings, we are prevented from commenting on this matter any further at this time.

"If anyone has any specific concerns about this case or any sexual offence crimes, please contact Dorset Police where information can be reported and dealt with in the strictest confidence."

The matter was referred by Dorset Police to the Independent Office for Police Conduct which decided it should be subject to a criminal investigation.
