Ex-officer raped girls

A POLICE officer who raped two young girls when he was babysitting them as a teenager almost 40 years ago has been jailed for eight years.

Paul Greig, 51, of Armadale, had denied raping the sisters at a house in West Lothian between February 1974 and February 1975 but a jury at the High Court in Edinburgh took less than two hours to return a majority verdict on two charges of rape and two of indecent practices.

Sentencing Greig, Judge Lord Kinclaven said: "It is clear you have caused a high level of harm."
