A former police officer has been jailed for 12 years after being found guilty of two rapes.
Aron May, who served as a PC with West Midlands Police, was sacked by the force in May after his conviction at Worcester Crown Court in April.
The 40-year-old, from Shropshire, had carried out the offences on 14 August 2019 and then a later date that month, the court heard.
Following sentencing at the same court on Monday, West Midlands Police said: "The public quite rightly expect the highest standard of professionalism from our officers and staff and we are determined to ensure that those who breach these standards are held to account.鈥
The force's statement added: 鈥淎ron May was dismissed from West Midlands Police in May 2024 following a misconduct hearing which took place after his conviction at Worcester Crown Court for two counts of rape."
West Mercia Police, which serves the Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire areas, was the investigating force.
