Rapist Officer Sentenced After Home Attack | London News

A former Met officer, Rupert Edwards, got seven years for raping a woman in her own home on New Year’s Day 2018 — while off duty. He’d tricked a ride-share into his place, ended up at her door, and attacked her while she slept. She woke up naked next to him, emotionally shattered, even considering not waking up. He later texted her asking for more. She reported it in 2023, he was arrested in 2024, and convicted in May after a trial. This wasn’t his first rodeo — he’d been acquitted before, but this time, his past behavior sealed his fate. The judge called her home a sanctuary — and he shattered it. He’s also banned from ever contacting her again. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
