A ex-Met Police detective who appeared in a BBC documentary has been accused of abusing or harassing seven of his former partners. Former Met Detective Constable David Fall is accused of carrying out the abuse and harassment between 2014 and 2020 while a member of the force.
He will face the allegations at a misconduct panel in February. Fall, who previously served in the Met’s Sapphire Unit investigating rapes and serious sexual offences, left the Met in October. A notice on the Met Police website reads: “It is alleged that between 2014 and 2020, whilst a serving member of the Metropolitan Police Service, former DC Fall engaged in domestic abuse and/or harassment towards seven of his former partners.
“It is further alleged that in 2020, former DC Fall showed his partner a confidential document related to his work without any proper policing purpose. “The matter and conduct set out above amount to gross misconduct, namely a breach of the standards of professional behaviour that, if proved, are so serious as to justify dismissal.”.
Fall appeared on an episode of the BBC’s The Met: Policing London, which aired in May 2017. The episode covered the case of Harjit Singh, who was jailed for six years in 2016 for attempting to rape a 35-year-old woman with Down’s Syndrome. In the documentary, Fall, the investigating officer in the case, can be seen talking with the victim, saying: “That’s what my job is, to make sure we lock up the bad people so that people like you, the good people, can sleep safe and sound in their own houses.
