A trial date has been set for a police officer charged with two counts of sexual assault.

Fiona Anderson, 32, from Exeter, has pleaded not guilty to the two incidents which reportedly took place in Cardiff in 2018.

Ms Anderson, a police constable with Devon and Cornwall Police, was not on duty at the time.

She was initially arrested and bailed in March 2023 and has remained suspended from duty since.

Ms Anderson is expected to face a three-day trial at Bristol Crown Court on March 9 2026.
