Leicestershire and Rutland Police Officer Charged with Rape and Sexual Assault
A serving police constable with the Leicestershire Police force has been formally charged with multiple sexual offenses, including rape.
The charges against Stephen Reynolds, 28, follow an investigation into incidents reported to have occurred several years ago. Stephen Reynolds is now facing legal proceedings as the case moves toward a preliminary court hearing.
The charges filed against Stephen Reynolds include:
Two counts of rape.
One count of assault by penetration.
The allegations involve a single adult female victim who was reportedly known to Stephen Reynolds. The incidents are said to have taken place in 2019, prior to the current legal action.
Leicestershire Police have confirmed that Stephen Reynolds is currently suspended from duty pending the outcome of the legal proceedings. While he remains on police bail for the moment, he is scheduled to appear at Northampton Magistrates’ Court tomorrow, Wednesday, January 7, 2026.
The force has not provided further comment on the specifics of the investigation, as is standard practice while a case is active before the courts.
