A Metropolitan Police officer rapist, Samuel McGregor, has been found guilty of rape after an inquiry conducted by detectives.
PC Samuel McGregor, 33, formerly associated with the Central North Command Unit, was convicted of rape on Friday, 24 January, after a trial at Inner London Crown Court.
On 23 June 2023, he entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of rape at Inner London Crown Court.
Chief Superintendent Andy Carter, responsible for policing in Central North, stated: “I am appalled by Samuel McGregor’s reprehensible conduct and the suffering he has inflicted upon the victim.”
“There is simply no place for individuals like Samuel McGregor in the Met, and we will continue to root out such vile individuals.
“I am proud of the officers who throughout the investigation displayed the care and compassion deserved by the victim, as they carried out interviews and gathered forensic evidence to show the extent of the abuse and develop a watertight case against McGregor.
“Above all, I am pleased to see today’s result, which I hope brings some closure to the victim.
“Now that criminal proceedings have taken place, Samuel McGregor will face a misconduct hearing at the earliest opportunity.”
The court heard that the victim, who was known to Samuel McGregor, had been raped on 11 May 2021 at an address in London. She confided this incident to her colleagues at a later date, and they reported it to officers on the victim’s behalf on 2 June 2021. Samuel McGregor was swiftly arrested the day after, on suspicion of rape.
A misconduct hearing will take place in due course.
Sentencing will be held on Monday, 10 March.
