A mechanic has been found guilty of carrying out a string of violent sex attacks.
Kenneth Jolly, from Forfar, was remanded in custody after a jury at the High Court in Perth found him guilty of raping one prostitute and sexually assaulting three others over a nine-month period between October 2010 and May 2011.
The 54-year-old trawled the streets for prostitutes to take to his caravan in Bridgefoot, near Dundee.
Presiding judge Lord Boyd paid tribute to the "courage and dignity" of the victims who came forward to give evidence against Jolly, who will be sentenced at the High Court in Aberdeen on January 14.
Jolly was also placed on the sex offenders register and the judge ordered a risk assessment report to establish whether he would continue to pose a danger to women.
The trial heard how Jolly had picked up women on the streets of Dundee and agreed to pay them for sex before taking them to the caravan park.
But after they stripped to have sex Jolly would turn violent. Jolly claimed the women had agreed to all of the sex acts which took place in his caravan.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
