Ex-Pc jailed for raping girl, 14

Christopher Davies resigned from North Wales Police in 2002

A former police constable has been jailed for nine years for raping a 14-year-old girl.

A jury at Caernarfon Crown Court heard how Christopher Davies got the girl drunk before raping her at his home near Mold, Flintshire last April.

The judge said Davies, who had become a bodyguard, had not shown remorse.

In 2002, Davies, now 32, had resigned from North Wales Police after being cleared of sending indecent text messages to another teenager.

After being found guilty after a four-day trial, Judge John Rogers QC said Davies - a bodyguard and combat instructor from Northop Hall - had tried to pull the wool of over the eyes of the jury.

The court heard how he took his victim home after taking her for a meal.

"You plied her with so much drink that she fell into sleep or semi-consciousness. Then you gratified your sexual appetite by having sexual intercourse with her," the judge said.

Nightmare

"Only a substantial period of imprisonment is appropriate," said the judge, who also imposed a lifetime sex offenders' order.

After the trial, the girl's mother said her daughter was still living a nightmare but was receiving counselling.

Davies had resigned from North Wales Police in 2002, after being cleared by Wrexham magistrates of sending indecent text messages to a 15-year-old girl whom he had met while investigating an alleged assault on her.

He resigned from the police so escaping a disciplinary inquiry.

In court in 2002, he had accepted he had acted naively but had denied that any of the text messages were of an improper nature.

In his rape trial, the court heard he knew his victim was 14, although he said she had claimed to be two years older.
