Adrian Trevor Moore, 53, was found guilty in the WA District Court of 87 charges involving 13 victims, each of whom was stupefied with an unknown substance during sadistic offending that spanned 12 years.
Moore, who rose to the rank of senior constable, met most of the women on dating sites. Two were fellow police officers.
Judge Alan Troy on Tuesday outlined harrowing details of how Moore repeatedly breached his position of trust and humiliated victims who had either explicitly urged him to stop or were incapable of consenting.
On one occasion, Moore violently raped a victim at her apartment while wearing his police uniform after offering to help her move homes.
Other offending involved animals and objects.
Some victims were unaware of the crimes carried out against them until police seized a storage device containing images and videos recorded by Moore.
“The facts here are unprecedented,” Troy said, describing the offending as premeditated and predatory.
“Your conduct involves … an abject disregard by you for each victim’s dignity as a human being.”
Troy sentenced Moore to 30 years in prison. He will be eligible for parole after 28 years.
It is believed to be the highest sentence handed down in WA for sexual offending.
The court was told Moore had lived a “double life”, concealing his increasingly brazen crimes from his colleagues and superiors in the WA police force.
“Your offending against fellow police officers carried with a heightened risk for you but you did it anyway,” the judge said.
Moore’s offending was only uncovered when a victim who was also a police officer reported him to internal affairs, knowing that doing so would result in explicit images of her being seen by other officers.
Troy noted the “enormous debt of gratitude” owed to the woman by other victims and the broader community.
“I fear that you have irretrievably wrecked her life,” he said.
The court heard Moore had not expressed any genuine remorse, instead maintaining a delusional belief that the police force had a vendetta against him.
Troy paid tribute to the courage shown by victims, one of whom had expressed concern about the vicarious trauma suffered by jury members who had to watch recordings of Moore’s “sickening” crimes.
“In the context of what happened to her, (her) concern for others is remarkable,” he said.
