Andrew Coles, a former undercover Metropolitan Police officer, is accused by an animal rights activist, known as Jessica, of deceiving her into a sexual relationship while infiltrating her activist group in the early 1990s. Coles, who has admitted to sharing her bed but denies any sexual contact, claims the allegations are false and part of a vendetta against him.

The Metropolitan Police has acknowledged that Coles had a sexual relationship with Jessica and expressed disappointment over his lack of honesty during the ongoing Undercover Policing Inquiry. Coles's case highlights the controversial practices of undercover officers infiltrating political groups and the ethical implications of such actions.
