British cop jailed for 19 years for raping two women and a string of other sex crimes



A former policeman who raped two women and offered a teenage girl, who he had groped, payment for sex has been jailed for 19 years.

Wayne Scott, 37, has been convicted of rape and attempted rape of a woman after a five-day trial, having already admitted to raping a different woman seven times over a number of years.

Branded a ‘disgrace to the uniform’ by former colleagues, he also confessed to two common assaults, one sexual assault and two counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual touching.

Sentencing Scott at Newcastle Crown Court, Judge James Goss QC described him as ‘manipulative, controlling and domineering’.

‘Your offending has had an enormous impact on the well-being, confidence and lives of those against whom you offended, destroying their lives,’ he said.

‘You clearly have a very strong sexual drive and are prepared to satisfy that urge regardless.’

The judge said he agreed with the probation service report which concluded Scott’s risk of causing serious harm to females in future is ‘very high’.

His offences came to light after he was dismissed by Cleveland Police when a member of the public complained about him touching her sexually while he was on duty.

Although he was not prosecuted for that offence, the publicity led other women to come forward and make complaints.

Speaking after the sentence, Detective Superintendent Peter McPhillips, of Cleveland Police, said: ‘I’m really pleased with the sentence today. Wayne Scott is a sexual deviant and a predator who manipulated his victims and had a significant detrimental impact on their lives. ‘Yet he has never exhibited any remorse and he does not appear to understand the horrific nature of his crimes.

‘I would like to pay tribute to all of his victims, in particular those who we managed to trace and who were brave enough to provide us with the details of his crimes.’

The former Cleveland constable wept and fell to his knees during the hearing, where he was sentenced to fifteen years custodial term with a four year extended licence period for his crimes.

After one attack he posted on his Facebook page: ‘Think today is going to be a good day,’ followed by a smiley face.

During another he put a pair of stockings around his victim’s neck and warned he could strangle her.

And the court heard Scott had warned one victim: ‘I’m in charge and I’m going to do what I want to you.’

Scott, formerly of Teesside, was found guilty of one rape and an attempted rape in relation to one of his adult victims.

He had already admitted seven rapes and two common assault charges in relation to another woman.

He also pleaded guilty to one charge of sexual assault and two of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity in relation to the 15-year-old.
