Detective Constable Daniel Buckett is due to appear at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 21 July 2022. 

The charge relates to an incident when the officer was off-duty at Lola Lo nightclub, Cambridge, on 3 December 2021. 

Our investigation followed a conduct referral from the force on 8 December 2021. 

After concluding our investigation in March 2022 we passed a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service, which authorised the charge.

• DC Buckett was found not guilty on 21 November, 2022 by a district judge at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
• At a misconduct hearing on 13 September 2023, DC Buckett was given a final written warning after gross misconduct was found.
