A ROOFER who raped a woman after delivering a bed to her home has been jailed for five years.

At the High Court in Glasgow, John Thomson, 40, of Nethan Place, Hamilton, admitted raping the 44-year-old at a flat in Hamilton on November 1 and 2 last year, smashing her mobile phone and assaulting her.

The court heard Thomson punched her in the face then demanded she went into the bedroom, where he raped her.

Afterwards the woman, who suffered a broken jaw, ran from the flat and was met by police answering a 999 call about the attack. Thomson answered the door naked when officers knocked.

Thomson was jailed for five years and ordered to be monitored for a year after release. He was also put on the sex offenders' register.
