A suspended Sussex Police Officer will stand trial at Chichester Crown Court on Monday (May 17th) for three offences.

39-year-old PC Steven Lodge, who is based at Hastings, will face two allegations of sexual touching and one count of voyeurism.

The alleged offence occurred when Lodge was off duty between 2018 and 2019 and the victims are known to him.

A Sussex Police spokesperson said PC Lodge may face further disciplinary proceedings following the conclusion of the court case.
