PC Samuel McGregor, 33, was found guilty of raping a woman at an address in London in May 2021 after a trial at Inner London Crown Court.
He was sentenced to four years and six months’ imprisonment on Tuesday (April 15).
PC McGregor had been attached to the Central North command unit which covers Camden and Islington
McGregor “deliberately targeted the victim when she was in a vulnerable situation”, and she woke up to being raped by him, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.
During a police interview, he denied having sex with the victim at all, but later changed his story to claim it was consensual after he learned of forensic evidence, the CPS said.
Cassandra Bligh, from the CPS, said: “It is shocking to know that someone we trusted to enforce the law has broken it and committed one of the most heinous crimes on a woman.”
McGregor had denied the charge.

He said there is “no place” for people like McGregor in the force, vowing to “root out such vile individuals”.
McGregor was reported to police on June 2 2021 and arrested the day after.
He was suspended from duty on March 3 2022 after admitting to lying during the police interview.
