In a number of incidents, the police officer used his authority to force the victims to submit to his demands.
In one incident, a woman was raped several times while in custody and in another, a woman was raped in court.
Nine out of the 26 listed rape cases occurred in either police station cells or official police vehicles.
The report says in a typical case, a police officer would stop a young woman in a public place, before taking her away to be raped in the back of a police vehicle and then setting her free.
