British police officer admits raping and kidnapping Sarah Everard

A Met Police officer has admitted kidnapping and raping Sarah Everard.

The 33-year-old vanished as she walked home in Clapham, south London, on 3 March. Her body was found a week later in woodland near Ashford, Kent.

Appearing at the Old Bailey via video-link, PC Wayne Couzens, of Deal, pleaded guilty both to kidnap and rape.

The court heard he also accepted responsibility for Ms Everard's death but did not enter a plea on the charge of murder.

Marketing executive Ms Everard had been walking to her home in Brixton on the night she disappeared.

She was reported missing by her boyfriend on 4 March and her body was discovered hidden in an area of woodland on 10 March.

PC Couzens was wearing khaki trousers and a grey sweatshirt as he appeared by video link from Belmarsh jail.

He pleaded guilty to kidnapping Ms Everard "unlawfully and by force or fraud" on 3 March.

He also pleaded guilty to a second charge of rape between 2 and 10 March.

A MET officer?

Do I draw any conclusions from that singular description?

Indeed.

Perhaps he should have been defunded.

Britain’s lack of punishment is worse than ours. This guy won’t miss tea and crumpets.

If found guilty of murder he will serve at least 20 years in prison, before parole is considered.

As a serving police officer he will have a very hard time inside.

...kidnapping Ms Everard "unlawfully and by force or fraud"...

There's a way to do it lawfully?

An example of "lawfully" forcibly taking someone against her will, would be an arrest.

But remember, no one needs a gun because the police will protect you.

He’ll also be in Belmarsh which is like 100+ years old (Victorian prison) and where Assange is, crazy enough

That’s where they send all the high profile terrorists and pedo’s.

Are there at least protests in England about this?

I know that there won’t be global protests.

There were protests/vigils initially but the cops broke them up and made arrests (!) due to COVID restrictions:-

Yeah, she couldn’t defend herself but what is bad/shocking is that the cop in uniform engenders trust and he obviously used it to nab the poor lady.

Yes, there were protest in March. The government used the excuse of covid to shut down protests and rallies.

Well, it’s a good thing she didn’t have a gun. Someone might have gotten killed. /s/s/s

Update...

Disaster-prone Cressida Dick is made a Dame Commander by Prince Charles as she tries to stay on as Met Police Commissioner despite string of controversies including Wembley security and Daniel Morgan inquiry

BTW, does what happened at Wembley remind anyone else of out January 6 "insurrection"...?
