James McCall, a 49-year-old sex offender, has been jailed for serious sexual assaults committed in Lanarkshire over a 14-year span from 2007 to 2019.
James McCall was convicted of nine offences, including four counts of rape and two counts of assault against two women, and was sentenced to an enhanced 17-year term, with 12 years to be served in jail, on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at the High Court in Glasgow.
His name has been included on the sex offenders registry.
Detective Inspector Gary Smillie, Lanarkshire Public Protection Unit, said: “McCall is an abusive individual who has shown no remorse for his violent and abusive actions.
“His offending had a profound effect on the victims and I would like to commend them for their strength in coming forward and during the investigation. I hope this sentencing goes some way to acknowledge this and brings them some comfort as they move forward in their lives.
“We are committed to bringing those responsible for sexual and physical abuse to justice, no matter the length of time that has passed. We work with a range of partner agencies to support victims and carry out investigations.
“Anyone with concerns or information should contact Police Scotland through 101, or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
