Dion Arnold

Dion Arnold, 33, of Camberley, was sentenced to 25 years in prison with an additional eight years on licence at Guildford Crown Court for a series of sexual offences. In April 2026, he was convicted of four counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault by penetration, and two counts of sexual assault.

The court heard that Arnold, a former Metropolitan Police officer who worked on domestic abuse cases, used his professional status to gain the trust of vulnerable women he met via dating apps and social media. Evidence revealed Arnold kept a list of over 30 women on his phone, noting medical conditions to identify potential targets. During his offending, he subjected victims to physical abuse, including choking one woman until she lost consciousness and raping another while she was asleep.

Sentencing Arnold, Judge Deborah Charles remarked that he harboured deep-seated misogyny and a need to control women. In addition to his custodial sentence, Arnold has been placed on the sex offenders register for life and issued with a restraining order prohibiting contact with his victims. Arnold was dismissed from the Metropolitan Police following his convictions.
