Christopher Ferguson, 31, from Wishaw was arrested in 2021 and suspended from Police Scotland but continued to be paid until he quit in June of this year.
A shamed Lanarkshire cop who subjected three women to a 14-year campaign of sexual abuse stayed on full pay and received wage rises despite his arrest.
He demanded one woman have an abortion, threatened to beat her and cause her to miscarry, stalked her and told her what to wear. A complaint was made about his abuse by an ex-partner. While being investigated in June 2021, he harassed an officer, who was also a former partner, about the probe. He was sentenced at Hamilton Sheriff Court, issued with a 10-year non harassment order against three women and put on the sex offenders’ register.Sheriff Linda Nicolson said: “As you became more mature, your offending behaviour escalated in range and gravity… That escalation also coincided with you becoming a police officer, a development which led you to become someone trusted to uphold the law and protect others.
