Couzens has already appeared in court charged with four other incidents of alleged exposure said to have taken place in Swanley, Kent, before Ms Everard’s death.

Those charges state he allegedly “intentionally exposed his genitals intending that someone would see them and be caused alarm and distress”.

The incidents allegedly took place on four occasions in Swanley: between January 22 and February 1 2021, January 30 and February 6, and on February 14 and February 27.

Couzens will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on September 2

In July, Couzens lost an attempt to overturn his whole-life term for the murder of Ms Everard.

The ex-Metropolitan Police officer, who used his position to trick Ms Everard into his car, had challenged his sentence at the Court of Appeal.

But the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Burnett, said the crime was so exceptional the sentence should stand.
