A former police officer has been jailed for drugging and raping one woman and abusing another.

Derek McNee, 42, from Glasgow, was sentenced to seven years in prison after he admitted the offending, which began in 2021.

The Crown Office said he admitted raping one of his victims on multiple occasions after giving her drugs which rendered her unconscious.

He also admitted engaging in a course of abusive behaviour towards another woman over a five-year period.

The former officer also pleaded guilty to being in possession of an electronic stun gun – described as an “ultra-high voltage” device – which was hidden in his car.

McNee left Police Scotland in 2016 and became a dog groomer, running a busy pet salon in Paisley, Renfrewshire.

He pleaded guilty to the offences at the High Court in Glasgow in September.

At the same court on Monday, he was sentenced to seven years in jail plus an additional monitoring period of 18 months.

He was also added to the sex offenders register indefinitely, and made subject to non-harassment orders.

Procurator fiscal Faye Cook, of the Crown Office of Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS), said: “Derek McNee subjected two women to serious abuse and exploitation.

“He used drugs to facilitate the rape of one woman, rendering her incapable of consenting to sexual activity.

“He also subjected another woman to controlling, abusive and degrading behaviour.

“These offences had a profound impact on both victims, who should have been safe in his company.

“His conviction reflects the courage of the women who felt able to report their experiences, enabling prosecutors to seek justice on their behalf.

“COPFS is committed to listening and responding to such reports and holding perpetrators to account.

“Prosecuting offenders such as McNee helps make Scotland a safer place for all.”
