A former police sergeant who carried out a number of rapes and sexual attacks against two women has been imprisoned for 12 years.
Campbell Petrie, 50, was jailed at the High Court in Glasgow on Friday.
Judge Alistair Watson said Petrie’s offences, which took place in Glasgow while he was a serving officer with Police Scotland, had caused “deep and enduring psychological harm” for the two women who were his victims.
