The security member in question was arrested and charged with rape and is on remand in prison.

A Met Police statement read: “Earlier today, a Westminster Council licensing hearing ruled that the licence for Heaven nightclub off Villiers Street should be suspended for up to 28 days, until a full hearing can take place.

“This will take effect immediately meaning Heaven will not open from tonight onwards.

“The decision, which followed an application from the Metropolitan Police, was made on the grounds of public safety.

“The hearing heard that in the early hours of Sunday, 1 November a woman was allegedly raped in the vicinity of the venue by a member of security staff. Other staff then allegedly ignored her efforts to report the attack.

“A member of security staff was arrested and has since been charged with rape. He is on remand in prison.

“It follows another incident in May when three members of the venue’s security team were filmed assaulting a customer in the street.

“These incidents raise serious concerns about the venue’s ability to fulfil its obligations to protect its customers, in particular in relation to safeguarding.”

LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 19: Extinction Rebellion environmental activists try to stop police from removing their boat on April 19, 2019 in London, England. The boat, called the Berta Caceres, is named after the Honduran environmentalist that was killed in March 2016 by gunmen who broke into her La Esperanza home that had been a focal point of the Oxford Circus occupation since Monday morning. The boat removed from Oxford Circus was then driven down numerous back roads by the police with an escort of over 100 police in an operation estimated to have involved over 1000 police before protesters stopped it for an hour on the corner of Great Portland Street and Langham Street while deciding how to deal with the situation through a mass vote. The boat was lead past the BBC offices to the Energy Institute in Marylebone by protesters where they allowed it to be taken away by Police. The climate change activist group aims to stop traffic and occupy key locations to cause maximum disruption to the capital for up to two weeks unless their climate protection demands are met by the government, as a series of protests take place globally to highlight the ongoing ecological and climate crisis.
