Ex-detective sergeant Kevin McKeown was in court in 2021, accused of carrying out the attack and indecently assaulting another woman, but a jury found both charges ‘not proven’.
A judge has thrown out a £100,000 compensation case brought by a woman who accused a former police officer of rape. Lady Poole said the woman’s legal action was for too much money and had been lodged too late.
He had been accused of carrying out the attack at a property in the town and indecently assaulting another woman, but a jury found both charges ‘not proven’. The alleged rape victim, then aged 47, claimed in evidence that Mr McKeown had raped her after she dozed off under the influence of drink and prescription drugs.
The woman who made the rape claim raised a personal injuries action at the Court of Session in Edinburgh in her attempt to make Mr McKeown pay. The retired policeman represented himself in the civil case, with the lay assistance of his daughter. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
