Star arrest: 'reasonable force used'

The Chronicle

|

May 16, 2025

THE use of force by officers to arrest Sex Education star Reece Richards after he was mistaken for a suspect “was reasonable in the circumstances”, the police watchdog found.

The actor, who plays Eugene in the Netflix series, said he was sprayed with an incapacitating liquid, thrown to the ground and kicked by officers when he was arrested in west London last year.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said an investigation found “no indication that any officers acted in a manner that would justify the bringing of disciplinary proceedings or had committed a criminal offence”.

The watchdog also did not uphold a complaint by Richards that he was treated in a discriminatory manner because he was black.
