Rape cop ‘allowed to thrive in culture of indifference’

A RAPIST police officer’s ghastly sexual behaviour was allowed to “flourish” throughout his career, a damning report has said.

Former Cleveland constable Wayne Scott was jailed for 19 years in 2013 after he was convicted of the rape and the attempted rape of a woman, having already admitted raping a different woman seven times over a number of years.

He also confessed to two common assaults, one sexual assault and two counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual touching.
