A police sergeant who was jailed for eight years for raping two young girls when he was aged 14 and 15, yesterday had his sentence slashed by appeal judges,who ruled his punishment was excessive.
Paul Greig, 52, was convicted of abusing the sisters at a house in West Lothian when he was babysitting the children aged seven and nine in 1974 and 1975.
Greig was placed on the Sex Offenders' Register following his conviction and Lord Kinclaven told him there was no alternative to "a significant custodial sentence".
