A police sergeant has been found not guilty of raping a vulnerable woman after going to her home to take a statement after a domestic incident.

David Stansbury, 43, who was a Devon and Cornwall officer at the time, was accused of attacking the woman on three occasions in Plymouth 2009 and telling her: “I am the law.”
