A major Police Scotland anti-corruption investigation revealed that PC Alan Greer, who died by suicide in May, committed multiple rapes, sexual assaults and attempted murders over at least 14 years, with nine victims identified so far. The case began after a woman reported a 2012 rape by Greer, leading detectives to uncover further victims, including sex workers and police colleagues. Evidence from Greer’s device searches and recovered phones showed extensive use of prostitutes and violent behaviour. Senior officers stated no earlier opportunities existed to detect his actions, while comparisons to the Wayne Couzens case highlighted concerns about police vetting. The inquiry continues as investigators work to identify additional victims.

A major Police Scotland anti‑corruption inquiry has identified nine victims of PC Alan Greer, who died by suicide while under investigation for serial rapes, assaults and attempted murders spanning at least 14 years. The probe began after a woman reported a 2012 rape by Greer, leading detectives to uncover further victims, including sex workers and two female officers. Searches of Greer’s devices revealed extensive evidence of violent offending. Senior officers say no missed vetting opportunities have been found, though the investigation continues, with thousands of images still to assess. Police urge any additional victims to come forward.
