South Wales police HR director Greg Jones cleared of rape and assault charges

A senior HR professional has been cleared of raping a woman after a night out in Swansea.

Greg Jones, head of HR at South Wales Police, had denied three charges of rape, insisting he had “vigorous and consensual” sex with the complainant in September 2006.

A jury at Swansea Crown Court returned unanimous verdicts of not guilty after a two-week trial.

Jones was also cleared of assault causing actual bodily harm.

He remains suspended from his job and South Wales Police said his employment conditions would be reviewed.
