Is it even possible to damage the reputation of the Met?

There’s a lot to be disturbed about in this, yet another, account of a Met police officer raping women, but this bit jumped out at me.

However, there was another woman who had attended court and listened to Lauren's victim impact statement.
She was a Met Police officer like Provan. And he had raped her too.
During the third trial this year the court heard that the female officer told Met bosses Provan had raped and abused her years before Lauren's case, but had effectively been told to keep quiet about it for the sake of her career.

A domestic abuse survivor has told Sky News how a police officer took advantage of her vulnerability when he had sex with her in a women's refuge while on duty.
Shannon Mulhall was distressed and vulnerable when she called the police and was taken to a place that should have been a sanctuary.
But one of the officers sent to protect her would go on to strip naked in her refuge and make sexual advances.
Disgraced Humberside Police officer PC Simon Miller now faces years in jail after admitting the improper exercise of policing powers, and becomes the latest in a line of police officers who've brought shame to their uniform and dented trust in the police.
Lawyer Kevin Donoghue, who represents Ms Mulhall and specialises in abuse cases against the police, told Sky News that his caseload had dramatically increased.
"We're getting several a week, whereas a few years ago we would get maybe one every few months," he says.

It is not clear, but I think the 6 rapes are on a single person ( ex girlfriend or partner?).
however as horrific as the six allegations of rape are, what leapt out in that BBC story was thatr he was also before the court for Breach of a Non Molestation Order. Now admittedly a Non Molestation Order is a civil order ( but breach is a crime), but you do wonder if he had made his bosses aware he was subject to such an order, and if he had, then what did his bosses do about this?
A non molestation order is a red flag about a person, even if it is not a criminal conviction

This one makes no sense - as yet.
We are told a man, presumably the polis, was arrested after a member of the public saw a woman in distress.
Then, bang, he's charged with six rapes and other offences.
There's no way charges for six rapes could have been whipped up in 48 hours, he must have been under investigation for weeks, if not months - victims rightly complain the process takes too long.
It beggars belief even the Met would let a copper under suspicion of multiple rapes continue working as a polis, even though the story suggest he's only just been suspended.
A non-molestation order is usually made as an adjunct to a criminal conviction.
Even if this one wasn't. it also beggars belief the Met didn't know about it a good while before he was charged with breaching it, unless he breached it on the way home from the magistrates' court minutes after it was imposed.
I'm not inclined to bellow at the Met on this occasion - I suspect if we knew the full picture the investigation/arrest/charge sequence would make sense.
It's all a bit bonkers at the moment.
