A Metropolitan Police special constable has been found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting a child.
James Bubb, who now identifies as a woman named Gwyn Samuels, groomed one of his two victims online before sexually assaulting her when she was just 12 years old.
The 27-year-old, from Chesham in Buckinghamshire, was also found guilty of raping a woman he met online while posing as a 16-year-old girl.
He still identified as male at the time of the offences and he was referred to by biological sex throughout the trial at Amersham Law Courts.
Bubb began to volunteer with the Met Police Central West team as a special constable in September 2020 and the force said he was suspended immediately after his arrest by Thames Valley Police (TVP) on 30 April 2024.
Simon Stancome, of the Met Police anti-corruption and abuse command, said his actions were "completely despicable".
