Police officer denies raping woman in five-star Liverpool Street hotel

A Metropolitan police officer has denied raping a woman in a luxury hotel.

PC Adam Zaman, 28, of Romford, Havering, pled not guilty to one charge of rape at a hearing at the Old Bailey yesterday (Monday, November 29).

Zaman, who is a serving Met officer, is accused of raping a woman in the five-star Andaz Hotel in Liverpool Street, in the City of London.

The incident is alleged to have occurred on Sunday, October 24, when he was off-duty.

Zaman, who is based in the East Area Command Unit, which covers Redbridge, Havering and Barking and Dagenham, has been suspended from duties whilst the matter has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

After his arrest, he appeared in Westminster Magistrates Court on Wednesday, October 27.

He is remanded in police custody until his next hearing on Wednesday, December 22.

Det Ch Supt Paul Trevers, from the Met, said: “Specialist support is being provided to the complainant.

“PC Zaman has now been charged and it is important that criminal proceedings are allowed to take their course.

“Nothing should be said or reported which could put the integrity of those proceedings at risk.”
