In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that PC Jason Capery, of the Central West Basic Command Unit, was dismissed from the Metropolitan Police Service for the sexual assault of a woman at a pub. On appearing at a misconduct hearing on Tuesday 10 March 2026, the panel found that Capery had breached the standards of professional behaviour. It was reported that while off duty at a pub in Marylebone, London, Capery acted inappropriately toward a woman known to him, specifically by touching and squeezing her bottom.
The investigation established that the incident occurred while Capery was in a social setting. Metropolitan Police reported that on Wednesday 4 February 2026, Capery appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, where he pleaded guilty to sexual assault by touching. The prosecution reported that his actions, although committed while off duty, represented a clear breach of the standards of discreditable conduct and authority, respect, and courtesy expected of a serving officer.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Capery’s behaviour fell well below the standards required for policing. Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard the details of the assault, leading to his conviction. The investigation established that on Friday 6 March 2026, Capery was sentenced to a 12-month community order and was required to pay court fees of £199. Detectives and professional standards officers proved that Capery’s conduct was so serious that it amounted to gross misconduct, making his position within the force untenable.
Detective Chief Superintendent Christina Jessah, who leads policing in central west London, noted that there is no place for such behaviour within the Met. For his actions in Marylebone, Capery was immediately dismissed without notice following the conclusion of the misconduct hearing. The judge noted that women deserve to feel safe in the capital and that it is imperative for officers to maintain high standards at all times, leading to Capery’s dismissal and inclusion on the barred list.

Monitoring and Public Protection

As a member of the Sex Offenders Register, Capery must comply with all notification requirements regarding his identity and residence.
