A senior police officer in Scotland, PC Alan Greer, has been revealed as a violent rapist who sexually assaulted and attempted to murder multiple women over a 14-year period.The BBC reports that Greer, who died by suicide in May, used his position to target victims, including sex workers, while off-duty.

Investigations led by Police Scotland's anti-corruption unit uncovered at least nine victims, with further cases expected as detectives sift through thousands of graphic images and videos recovered from his devices.The inquiry was triggered by a woman's 2023 disclosure of a 2012 rape incident, which prompted a major investigation into Greer's misconduct.Senior officers acknowledged the scale of his crimes was 'truly shocking,' but emphasized no red flags were missed during vetting.The case has drawn comparisons to the Met Police's Wayne Couzens, who was jailed for the murder of Sarah Everard.Greer's family and colleagues were unaware of his crimes, and police are now urging potential victims to come forward for support.
