The Met officer was enjoying a visit to Romania when he is alleged to have attacked the woman. He is due in court this week.
A serving Met officer has been charged with sexually assaulting a woman while on holiday in Romania.
PC Hubert Kokoszko, attached to the North Area Basic Command Unit, will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, August 13, after being charged with sexual assault.
The officer was charged on Wednesday, 16 July with sexual assault on a female and was immediately suspended from duty. The Met has today announced the arrest and charge and court date.

They say it relates to a report made to the Met in June 2024 about a sexual assault that took place in Romania against a woman previously known to the officer who was off duty.
It is understood the officer was on holiday when the alleged offence was committed.
PC Kokoszko was interviewed under caution at a police station on Monday, 28 October 2024 and subsequently charged nine months later.
The force said the alleged victim “continues to be supported by specialist officers”.
The Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards has also been made aware of the charge and if convicted the officer is likely to be subjected to disciplinary proceedings.
