Overview
- The High Court in Kilmarnock imposed an extended sentence comprising nine years in custody and two years of supervision on Tuesday following his September convictions in Edinburgh.
- In September 2023 he drugged two women he met at a Kirkcaldy nightclub, sexually assaulted one in the venue and raped the other at his nearby barber shop after she lost consciousness.
- Investigators used extensive CCTV to track his movements, including evidence of him taking drinks to a toilet before returning them and carrying the unconscious victim into a back room.
- He was placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely, and the court granted a non-harassment order with no time limit.
- Prosecutors and police condemned his predatory offending while urging victims of similar crimes to report and access trauma-informed support.
