August 25, 2022A POLICE officer who featured in Channel 4’s Call The Cops has been accused of sex attacks on three women.
Pc Matthew Tregale, 33, is alleged to have falsely imprisoned and repeatedly sexually assaulted one woman and is accused of controlling and coercive behaviour against two others.
He is charged with four counts of sexual assault by penetration and one count of attempted rape against a woman between 2005 and 2010.
The officer, who appeared in the Channel 4 mini-series in 2019, is further accused of two counts of false imprisonment and one of harassment with the threat of violence against the same woman.
He is also charged with controlling and coercive behaviour of a second woman between December 2015 and July 2020, and against a third between April and August 2021.
The defendant, of Kingsteignton, Newton Abbot, was remanded into custody by Plymouth Magistrates' Court last month.

"The charges relate to incidents which occurred whilst the officer was off duty between 2006 and 2021," a force spokesman said.
