Police Officer Daniel Julian Acquitted in Attempted Rape Case

Despite the acquittal, Julian remains suspended from Sussex Police as misconduct proceedings continue.

Daniel Julian, a Sussex Police officer, was found not guilty of attempted rape and other related charges by Lewes Crown Court.

Julian has been on suspension from police duties since being charged in April 2023.
Following the verdict, Sussex Police announced that misconduct proceedings against Julian would still proceed.
The case, described as 'particularly difficult' by Detective Inspector Jennifer Pietersen, involved a lengthy investigation and trial.
