Met Police Officer Convicted of Multiple Rapes at Guildford Crown Court

Prosecutors say he exploited trust tied to his domestic-abuse role.

Overview

  • A jury at Guildford Crown Court returned guilty verdicts Friday on four rapes, two assaults by penetration, and two sexual assaults.
  • The case began after a March 2025 report led to Arnold’s arrest and a search of his phone that revealed a list of women’s names.
  • Detectives contacted the women on that list, and three more came forward with accounts of rape or sexual assault.
  • Messages and testimony showed he knew the women were not consenting, with victims describing feeling powerless and Arnold texting that he “should have stopped” and had “taken things too far”.
  • Sentencing is set for June 22, and the CPS South East RASSO unit led the prosecution.
