A SEXUAL predator in the ranks of the Metropolitan Police has finally been brought to justice thanks to the courage of a woman he raped when she was 16.
Adam Provan, 43, carried out a series of sexual attacks on two victims during a 16-year career as a Met constable. Allegations that he was a controlling bully came to bosses’ attention early in his career, it is said, but were “swept under the carpet” instead of being taken seriously, Wood Green crown court heard.
Provan’s true character was finally brought to light in 2016 when a woman came forward to reveal that she had been raped as a teenager by the Pc when they met for a blind date in 2010.
She was a GCSE student while Provan — more than a decade older — had lied about his age, disguised his identity, and raped her twice during the “hellish” date.
The teenager stayed quiet at the time, fearing her word would not be taken above that of a respected police officer. But she eventually came forward, bravely giving evidence three times in a bid to bring Provan to justice.
