Lauren Evans, 35, a former Metropolitan Police officer, falsely claimed she was assaulted by a plain-clothes officer as an excuse for being late for work on March 22, 2023. She provided a false surname and description, leading to the arrest of innocent PC Alex Watson, who was held for 23 hours. Evans was initially jailed for 12 months at Southwark Crown Court in March and dismissed from the force. Her sentence was increased to two years after being referred to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme. She had already been released and was ordered to surrender to Guildford police station. The investigation involved 30 officers and over 1,500 hours of police time. PC Watson's victim impact statement described the catastrophic effect on his family, with his wife leaving her police staff role and his children feeling unsafe. Judge Martin Griffith stated she tried to fool a jury with a simple lie. Evans was found guilty of perverting the course of justice.
