An ex-Metropolitan Police officer was convicted of repeatedly raping a coworker and assaulting a 16-year-old girl.
Between 2003 and 2005, Adam Provan sexually assaulted a fellow cop six times while engaging in a campaign of “controlling and abusive behaviour and sexual violence.”
The 44-year-old was working in the Met’s East Area Command Unit at the time, as well as in 2010 when he twice sexually assaulted a teenage girl in a park.
He met the victim on a blind date through a friend and lied about his age, Wood Green Crown Court heard, which led to the ‘brazen and deliberate’ assault. Despite being 31 years old, he claimed to be 22.
The victim told a relative she had been raped at the time but it was not reported to police until 2016.
Provan was later found guilty and given a nine-year sentence for the attack, but his conviction was quashed in a successful appeal last year.
His retrial, which included the allegations from the second victim, began last month.

Provan denied the charges against him but a jury unanimously found him guilty of all eight counts of rape yesterday.
Provan, who lives near the town of Newmarket in Suffolk, will be sentenced on August 21.
Detective sergeant Victoria James said: ‘These are truly dreadful offences. Provan abused his position to win the trust of both these women. I hardly need to say Provan’s behaviour fell grossly short of what we expect from our police officers.
‘The 2010 assault was brazen and calculated, with clear indication he had planned it beforehand. The second victim suffered a campaign of controlling and abusive behaviour and sexual violence. I commend the incredible courage of both women in helping us bring Provan to justice.
‘The commissioner has been extremely clear there is no place in the Met for anyone who does not uphold the highest standards and where there is criminality we will absolutely investigate and bring before the courts.’
