The woman claims the officer raped her up to four times a week and locked her in her own home.
By Anna Whittaker and Heather BurmanA woman who says she was repeatedly raped by her ex-partner, who is a serving police officer, has criticised a force's handling of the allegations.
"I have exhausted every single avenue to report this. I resent the fact that they've protected him," she said.Nottinghamshire Police has been told to re-investigate aspects of the case But the woman asked for a review by the Independent Office for Police Conduct and it has since said the force's investigation was "not reasonable and proportionate", and has ordered the force to re-investigate parts of the case.
"At no point did they say they would support me. At that point, I realised it was all about putting me off."She said a subsequent formal interview to record the rape allegations was carried out by two officers - with one officer saying they were an acquaintance of the alleged perpetrator. "He used police restraint techniques on me. When I told him to leave me alone, he would get my hands behind my back and use pressure points to control me.She said she later left the home but the officer would follow her home from work, leave items on her car and follow her in marked police cars.She said she had suffered panic attacks and doctors believe she has post-traumatic stress disorder.
"The complainant has asked for a review, which has been conducted by the IOPC. The IOPC have directed that aspects of the case are reinvestigated, and this is currently ongoing."
