Volunteer Cop Sentenced for Child Rape

Former London Police Volunteer Sentenced for Child Rape, Sexual Offenses

A former volunteer special constable with Londons Metropolitan Police, Gwyn Samuels (previously James Bubb), was sentenced to twenty-four years in prison for multiple sexual offenses, including the rape of a child. Samuels, who volunteered in the Central West area, was convicted on five counts after a trial led by Thames Valley Police. The crimes, committed between January 2018 and April 2024, targeted two victims, one a child under thirteen. Samuels faced charges like assault by penetration, rape, and sexual activity with a minor, all committed while off-duty. Police leaders praised the victims for their bravery in speaking out, which led to the conviction. Samuels was suspended and fired after his arrest, and now faces a lifetime Sexual Harm Prevention Order and eight more years on license after release. This case highlights the Mets efforts to eliminate misconduct among volunteers and maintain public trust in law enforcement.
