David Rolls, 46, will appear before Brighton Magistrates’ Court on September 14 charged with misconduct in a public office.
Rolls, a former Sussex Police officer, is alleged to have abused his position of trust and responsibility to a woman known to him between January 1, 2016 and March 1, 2018 whilst he was a serving officer on West Sussex division.
Rolls, known as Will, resigned from his position as a Detective Chief Inspector in March this year.

The force will consider misconduct proceedings once the criminal proceedings have concluded.
