A statement from the Metropolitan Police said: "Following an investigation by Channel 4’s Dispatches and The Sunday Times in September 2023, the Met received a number of reports of sexual offences from women in London and elsewhere in the country.
"A file of evidence has now been passed to the CPS for their consideration.
