Update: Officer convicted of rape
After McGregor was convicted of rape, an accelerated misconduct hearing took place on Thursday, 27 February 2025, where McGregor was dismissed without notice. He will be placed on the barred list held by the College of Policing. Those appearing on the list cannot be employed by police, local policing bodies, the Independent Office for Police Conduct or His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services.
A Met officer has been convicted of rape following an investigation by detectives.
PC Samuel McGregor, 33, previously attached to the Central North Command Unit was found guilty of rape on Friday, 24 January following a trial at Inner London Crown Court.
He had previously pleaded not guilty to rape at Inner London Crown Court Crown Court on 23 June 2023.
Chief Superintendent Andy Carter, in charge of policing for Central North: “I am sickened by McGregor’s abhorrent behaviour and the pain he has caused the victim.
“There is simply no place for individuals like McGregor in the Met, and we will continue to root out such vile individuals.
“Now that criminal proceedings have taken place, McGregor will face a misconduct hearing at the earliest opportunity.”
The court heard that the victim, who was known to McGregor, had been raped on 11 May 2021 at an address in London. She confided this incident to her colleagues at a later date, and they reported it to officers on the victim’s behalf on 2 June 2021. McGregor was swiftly arrested the day after, on suspicion of rape.
A misconduct hearing will take place in due course.
Sentencing will be held on Monday, 10 March.
McGregor was suspended from duty on 3 March 2022 after he admitted lying during a police interview.
