Overview

• CPS London South said the 65-year-old faces one count of rape and two counts of indecent assault arising from non-recent allegations.
• The alleged offences occurred in west London between 6 and 12 September 1987 and involve two separate incidents reported by a woman now in her 50s.
• George is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 29 October 2025.
• The Metropolitan Police stated the charges followed work by a team of detectives, and noted the complainant is receiving specialist support.
• George was convicted in 2001 of Jill Dando’s 1999 murder but was unanimously acquitted at a 2008 retrial after forensic evidence was questioned, and that unsolved case is separate from the new charges.
