A disgraced police officer has been found guilty of rape and sentenced to ten years behind bars.
Ben Lister, 35, was convicted at court following a week-long trial which heard how he attacked the woman after a night out, dragged her off a sofa as she was sleeping and raped her.
The jury at Bradford Crown Court heard how the next morning Lister messaged the woman and even lied to her when she asked whether or not they had slept together. She went on to have his baby, Yorkshire Live reports.
Lister told her how they "did some stuff" but "didn't go that far".

Prosecutor Richard Woolfall told the jury on Monday during his opening speech the woman was "paralytic" and could not consent to any sexual activity with Lister.
He said the attack happened following a night out in 2016 and Lister "took advantage of her".
The prosecutor added: "Each went to sleep on separate sofas and at some point engaged in sexual activity in sexual activity.
"She is clear that she didn't agree to it and did not consent to it. She wasn't in any fit state due to the large amount she had to drink and she wasn't able to consent. He woke up from her and began to have sex with her.
"The first recollection she has after she went to sleep was being dragged off the sofa onto the floor. She had periods where she drifted in and out of consciousness and she only remembers parts - brief snapshots - of what happened."
The jury heard the woman attempted to "push" Lister's hands away from her as he touched her intimately.
