Overview
- Robertson was found guilty on Tuesday of five offences, including rape, two assaults and a course of abusive behaviour, after a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
- The jury concluded the rape occurred on a single occasion between 2018 and 2019 and heard pre-recorded testimony from the main complainant that she did not consent.
- Prosecutors led corroborating evidence from other women, including an earlier alleged 2007 incident in the Lake District, to show a pattern of controlling and humiliating behaviour.
- Robertson denied the charges through a special defence that encounters were consensual, but the judge remanded him in custody, ordered background reports and placed him on the sex offenders register.
- The convictions end Robertson’s recent acting work with BBC Scotland’s River City and leave victims and the industry awaiting the July 23 sentencing and its wider legal and professional consequences.
