Student Metropolitan Police officer lied when busted in ladies toilet with drunk teenager A student Metropolitan Police officer went into the ladies toilets of a nightclub for sexual activity with a drunk 18-year-old woman, a misconduct panel has found.
A misconduct panel heard the woman met Ioannou, then 25, on a night out with a friend in August 2022, and was visibly drunk when they entered the toilets.
Ioannou, who was socialising with fellow student Met Police officers, said he and the woman had met that night, and had spent time buying each other drinks.
Thomas Ioannou, who was studying to be a PC on the force, was caught on camera kissing the young woman and grabbing her bottom as they entered a cubicle together.
He claimed he accidentally went to the ladies toilet - believing it was the mens - and insisted only kissing and touching of the woman’s bottom happened, consensually, in the cubicle.
