Police Officer Faces Sexual Assault Charges

0:00On March 5, a Metropolitan Police Officer faces serious charges in court. PC Clever Ismail Yamaska Martinez, from the North Area Command Unit, has been accused of four counts of sexual assault by touching. He is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrate's Court on Monday, March 9. The allegations come from an incident at a bar on Shaftesbury Avenue in Soho. That happened on Saturday, December 7, 2024. Meanwhile, the officers' colleagues have felt the impact of his removal from active service. As part of the North Area team, his absence adds to the unit's workload during the investigation. PC Yamaska Martinez was suspended from duty back in October 2025. The Metropolitan Police acted quickly to pull him off the streets. This development keeps the focus on accountability within the force, with the court date approaching fast.
