A former Metropolitan Police officer has been acquitted of five counts of rape, an admin officer at Kingston Crown Court said.
The 30-year-old, who joined the Met in June 2021, had been accused of committing the offences between 2018 and 2020.
Ebanks was suspended from duty as a police constable after he was arrested in May 2022.
The former officer, who was based with the force’s North West Basic Command Unit, resigned a week before he was charged on April 28 last year.
