British police confirmed Friday that they had identified the body of 33-year-old Sarah Everard, whose disappearance while walking home in London sparked an outpouring across social media from women sharing their own experiences of sexual assault and harassment.
The UK's Crown Prosecution Service authorized police to charge a serving Metropolitan Police officer with Everard's murder and kidnapping on Friday, according to a statement from Rosemary Ainslie, the CPS' head of special crime. The statement said he will appear at Westminster magistrates' court on Saturday for his first hearing. Detectives searching for the woman found a body in woodland in Kent on Wednesday evening, said Nick Ephgrave, Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. "I can now confirm that it is the body of Sarah Everard."More Related News
