Scottish police officer was rapist who attacked women over 14 years
The News
Scottish police officer Alan Greer, who died by suicide in May, has been identified as a serial rapist who attacked at least nine women over 14 years. His crimes came to light after his first known victim reported a 2012 rape. The case has drawn comparisons to the Wayne Couzens scandal. Greer's offending began to be investigated after a victim reported the attack late last year.
