A “vile” policeman has been convicted of rape – leaving a senior officer “sickened” by his “abhorrent behaviour”.
PC Samuel McGregor, who previously worked at the Metropolitan Police‘s Central North command unit, was found guilty on Friday after a trial at Inner London Crown Court.
The 33-year-old officer had previously pleaded not guilty in June 2023.
The court heard the victim, who was known to the defendant, was raped on 11 May 2021 at an address in London.
She later told her colleagues about the incident, and they reported it to officers on the victim’s behalf on 2 June 2021.
McGregor was arrested the next day on suspicion of rape.
Chief Superintendent Andy Carter, who heads policing for Central North, said: “I am sickened by McGregor’s abhorrent behaviour and the pain he has caused the victim.
“There is simply no place for individuals like McGregor in the Met, and we will continue to root out such vile individuals.”
He added that he hoped the court’s guilty verdict “brings some closure to the victim”.
