Serial rapist Metropolitan Police officer allowed to join the force 'because of drive to improve diversity'
A review published on Thursday found that thousands of police officers and staff were not properly checked amid pressure during a national recruitment drive from July 2019 to March 2023.
PC Cliff Mitchell applied to join the Met in 2020, but the vetting process flagged up a previous allegation of raping a child in 2017, and his application was rejected.
However, a vetting panel, made up partly of senior officers, overturned the decision because the force wanted to improve the number of officers from ethnic minorities.
PC Mitchell went on to carry out a “campaign of rape” against two victims, including a child under the age of 13, while he was a serving officer.
He is one of 131 officers and staff at the Met who were not properly vetted and went on to commit criminal offences and misconduct.
PC Mitchell was jailed for life and sentenced to serve at least 13 years after he was found guilty of kidnapping and rape.
