He appeared at Croydon Magistrates’ Court last Monday, July 14, alongside two other men.
Mohammed is charged with sexual assault, exposure, and engaging in coercive or controlling behaviour.
The charges relate to an incident on July 12 when police were called to Peckham with reports of an alleged assault on a woman.
A Lambeth Council spokesperson said: “Following notification to the council from the police of an arrest and subsequent criminal charges, Councillor Irfan Mohammed has been removed from his position as a Deputy Cabinet Member and all council committees, pending resolution of the allegations against him.
“His membership of Lambeth Labour Group has also been suspended.
“We are unable to make further comment due to the ongoing criminal investigation.”
He will next appear in court at Inner London Crown Court on August 11.
Mohammed had been a Labour councillor at Brixton Town Hall since 2018 and was elected to represent the Clapham Park ward in 2022.
Two other men were charged with offences related to the same investigation.
Kaymren Mohammed, 38, was charged with three counts of assault by beating and one count of controlling and coercive behaviour in an intimate family relationship.
Zairab Mohammed, 72, was also charged with coercive and controlling behaviour in an intimate family relationship.
