PC Wayne Couzens has been arrested on suspicion of the kidnap and murder of Everard. He has also been arrested on suspicion of an indecent exposure involving another woman, and this is the incident that will be investigated by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
The alleged indecent exposure happened on 28 February, at a fast food restaurant in south London.'
Sarah Everard suspect: Met faces inquiry over indecent exposure claim
Looks like some of you were right in thinking that the IE was a seperate incident prior to SE. I won't speculate on how the met handled the incident. I'm glad that they are at the very least looking in to what failings may have happened. Hopefully they can reform how they handle this in the future.
