In 2022, a Fife Rapist, Robert Findlay, was sentenced for his “despicable crimes” at the Edinburgh High Court. Robert Findlay was jailed for five years at the High Court in Edinburgh on Thursday (December 22).
The court also handed the 33-year-old a 10-year non-harassment order.
Robert Findlay was convicted of several offences, including rape and sexual assault, at the High Court in Lanark on 25 November 2022, following a police investigation.
The offences took place in the Fife area between 2014 and 2020.
Detective Sergeant Graeme McLaren of Police Scotland said: “Robert Findlay took advantage of his victim over several years, and he will now face the consequences of his despicable actions in prison.
“His victim was courageous enough to come forward, report Findlay, and then give evidence in court. Our thoughts remain with her, and I hope that today’s sentencing will provide her some comfort and help her move forward.
“We remain committed to supporting victims of sexual crimes and thoroughly investigating those responsible by bringing them to justice, no matter how much time has passed. I would urge people to come forward to the police and report it. They can be assured of being fully supported by officers and partner agencies.”
