A violent pervert who raped and physically abused two terrified women has been jailed for 10 years.
Ian Wilson, 41, targeted the females, who cannot be named, for legal reasons, at addresses in the Fife area on occasions between January 2000 and November 2012.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard that Wilson also subjected a number of other girls and women to a series of terrifying physical and sexual assaults which began in January 1993.
Wilson also repeatedly battered a boy who was just six when the abuse began in Fife in January 1993.
Judge Lord Kinclaven told Wilson that he would be supervised for four years after his release.
Wilson, a prisoner of HMP Barlinnie, Glasgow, was convicted of sexual and physical assault charges at the High Court last month.
Sentence had been deferred to obtain reports.
Defence solicitor advocate Brian Gilfedder said his client had a drink problem and that he was drunk when he committed the offences.
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.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
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 also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
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.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
