Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 20:44 · Archive

Derek McNee, 42, a former Police Scotland officer, has been jailed for raping one woman and abusing another.

Derek McNee, 42, a former Police Scotland officer, has been jailed at the High Court in Glasgow for raping one woman and subjecting another to prolonged domestic abuse. He admitted using drugs to render one victim unconscious before sexually assaulting her on multiple occasions. Glasgow Times reports that four videos were recovered from his mobile phone depicting McNee performing sexual acts on the woman while she was clearly intoxicated or asleep. The prosecutor told the court that McNee had filmed the attacks and later sent some of the footage to the victim.

McNee also admitted to controlling, abusive and degrading behaviour towards a second woman spanning a five-year period. He was additionally found to be in possession of an ultra-high voltage electronic stun gun hidden in his car. The offences against both women began in 2021, according to the prosecuting authorities. McNee left Police Scotland in 2016 to become a dog groomer and ran a pet salon in Paisley.

He was sentenced to a total of eight and a half years in prison. His name was added to the sex offenders register indefinitely and he was made subject to non-harassment orders. Faye Cook, Procurator Fiscal at the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, said the conviction reflected the courage of the women who reported their experiences, and that holding such perpetrators to account helps make Scotland safer.
