A Rapist police officer, David Taylor, solicited crime victims with sexual messages and explicit photographs following the investigation of their cases.
David Taylor inundated two women who claimed domestic violence and a woman who had been sexually abused with vulgarities.
The 37-year-old also expressed his desire to utilise his handcuffs on one of the women and reenact a scene from Fifty Shades of Grey.
The Police Constable, David Taylor, contacted his first victim merely one hour after addressing her complaint.
David Taylor began bombarding her with inappropriate messages, images, and videos.
David Taylor informed the sexual assault victim of his desire to apprehend her, restrain her to a bed, and engage in sexual intercourse with her.
He transmitted explicit photographs and videos of himself in the shower to a woman whose former partner had threatened to abduct her daughter.
David Taylor has been added to the Sex Offenders’ Register and cautioned that he may face imprisonment due to a breach of trust following a police investigation into his behaviour.
Details surfaced yesterday when Taylor appeared in the dock at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court.
David Taylor pled guilty to four of the 13 charges he faced at the pre-trial hearing, admitting targeting three vulnerable women between 2011 and 2018.
David Taylor admitted sending indecent images to a sex assault victim and then stalking her, communicating indecently with a domestic abuse victim, and sending indecent images to another domestic abuse survivor.
Prosecutor Peter Moyes said David Taylor’s first victim, who was 39 at the time in 2011, contacted police due to an issue between her and her ex husband.
David Taylor advised her that it was a civil matter and gave her advice.
But just an hour later he began texting her, sending her “flirty” and “sexually explicit” messages.
The court heard she replied in a “non-flirty” way as she does not like confrontation.
The woman stopped replying and deleted his number from her phone.
But the messages came to light in 2019 as part of a probe into Taylor’s crimes.
David Taylor targeted his second victim after she was sexually assaulted in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, in 2016.
The court heard Taylor was assigned as the Reporting Officer in the case of the young woman, who was just 20.
In 2017, he contacted her through Snapchat and identified himself to her as “PC David Taylor”.
