Bondage-obsessed Met Police officer who used duct tape to restrain flatmate jailed for four years

A BONDAGE-obsessed cop who used duct tape to restrain his flatmate during “ten minutes of terror” has been jailed for four years.

PC Sam Grigg, 36, who has been sacked by the Met, had pleaded guilty to false imprisonment and assault against Natasha Rabinowitz, 23.

Sentencing, Judge Peter Lodder KC said Grigg had “an obsession with BDSM” adding that he told his ex-girlfriend his police handcuffs “had come in useful” for it.

Judge Lodder said: “Although she continued to struggle, you became more forceful.

“You overcame her continuing resistance by sitting over the top of her as you then put duct tape over her mouth.

“She was terrified – you rendered her almost completely helpless.”

Three pairs of handcuffs and police-issue batons were found in Grigg’s bedroom by officers, along with horror film Better Watch Out, which depicts a woman bound in rope with duct tape over her mouth.

He attacked Natasha at the flat they shared in Twickenham, South West London, while other flatmates were out, Kingston crown court heard.
