A Dorset Police officer is due to stand trial accused of a string of sexual offences, including two counts of rape.

Police constable Ravi Canhye is expected to appear at Winchester Crown Court on Monday morning.

He was previously charged with two counts of rape, a count of attempted rape, two counts of sexual assault and three counts of assaulting a female by penetration with a part of his body.

PC Canhye indicated not guilty pleas at Poole Magistrates' Court in February this year. 

The allegations concern two women and when he was off duty in April 2022.

His trial is estimated to last six days. 

The 47-year-old, of Poole, was suspended by Dorset Police after the allegations were made against him.
