A serving Doncaster police officer has appeared in court today in connection with two sexual assaults against two victims.
South Yorkshire Police said PC Liam Duncanson, who worked in a neighbourhood policing team, will be tried at Leeds Crown Court on 4 January 2023.
Reports of inappropriate behaviour were made after a social gathering in October 2021, where PC Duncanson was off-duty.
The force said allegations emerged after a report was made to the Counter Corruption Unit.
PC Duncanson was granted bail after the hearing, which took place on Wednesday 7 December.
South Yorkshire Police said an internal misconduct investigation has been launched, and he has been suspended from duties.
Superintendent Delphine Waring, head of South Yorkshire Police’s Professional Standards Department, said: “The people of South Yorkshire rightly expect our officers and staff to uphold the highest standards, and I can assure you that when we become aware of anyone thought to be failing to meet these standards we will take appropriate action.”
