The Metropolitan Police have come under fire for protecting “one of their own”, as a former officer was jailed for 16 years for a series of rapes.

Ex-Pc Adam Provan’s predatory behaviour dated back to the 1990s, and went unchecked until Lauren Taylor came forward in 2016 to report she had been twice raped by him when she was 16.
