News about Lauren Taylor

Despite allegations of misconduct as long as 18 years ago, a woman (right) assaulted by a Met Police officer(left) asked today whether it was likely he had been retained in the service. Lauren Taylor, who refused to reveal her identity as a child, was just 16 when then-cop Adam Provan, now 44, welcomed her on a cinema date in 2010, but instead assaulted her in woods and a children's playground. After a hung jury and a later conviction being dismissed, she had to testify three times in her appeal for justice. Predator Provan was finally jailed for 16 years with a further eight on extended licence at Wood Green Crown Court

Mayor Sadiq Khan is attempting to block the pension of a rapist former Metropolitan Police officer, who is expected to make more than £10,000 a year, according to his office. Adam Provan, a former police officer, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for a string of rapes dating back eight years, including an assault on a female police officer and a 16-year-old teen. Former officers' pensions can only be blocked if the offending has been committed in connection with their police work. Following a hearing at Wood Green Crown Court, Provan, 44, of Newmarket, Suffolk, was found guilty of eight rapes against the two women and sentenced to 16 years on extended licence for a further eight years. His predatory behavior traces back to the 1990s and went unchecked until Lauren Taylor came forward in 2016 to reveal she had been twice assaulted by him.

Adam Provan (left and inset) was sentenced to 16 years in jail for raping a fellow officer and a 16-year-old teen this week. However, senior officers missed multiple opportunities to prevent Provan's crimes, which was a chilling echo of the case of rapist firearms officer David Carrick, who was imprisoned this year. Campaign groups in response after sentencing Judge Noel Lucas KC found that the majority of the police force in the United Kingdom cared more about 'protecting one of their own' than women's safety. Lauren Taylor, one of Provan's victims who denied her right to anonymity, is seen on right.

A predatory police officer was shot out of the force and rape two women in Scotland, but two women were stunned. Adam Provan, a disgraced former police officer from Newmarket, Suffolk, has used his position to prey young women and girls with a 'cold-blooded right to sex.' After receiving numerous reports from citizens and an officer, Judge Noel Lucas KC formally accused the Metropolitan Police force of protecting "one of their own" during Provan's sentencing on Tuesday.

Lauren Taylor (pictured left at 16) has bravely waived her right to anonymity in the hopes of assisting others. Adam Provan (inset), a former police constable, was 16 years old when she was invited to a cinema date in 2010, but instead she assaulted her in woods and a children's playground. At Wood Green Crown Court today, Ms Taylor (pictured right at 29) testified against the murderer who was sentenced to 16 years in prison with a further eight on a suspended licence. Ms Taylor took a year to tell someone what had happened to her, and many more years before she started calling police to arrest him. She said she felt compelled to act after becoming a mother at the age of 22 and watching a television documentary about late Jimmy Savile. Provan was found in 2018 but only to appeal, causing Ms Taylor to relive her ordeal in court for the second time after an initial trial ended in a hung jury.
