The now-78-year-old was a Latin teacher at the time at a secondary school in Angus, as well as the leader of the school’s hillwalking club. Wilson was jailed for three years in 2021 for the serial abuse of three boys.

A chip shop worker from Fife gave a lift to a customer, then tried to rape her while she slept. Guray Eskicioglu, 61, preyed on the woman at a house in Dunfermline. The High Court in Edinburgh heard how Eskicioglu had got to know his victim through his work in a fast food outlet in the city. The court heard how he regularly gave her lifts and she felt safe in his company. On the night of April 29 2022, Eskicioglu betrayed her confidence and sexually assaulted her.

A Kirkcaldy man has been jailed for a decade for the repeated rape a young girl. Thomas Hatton, 33, will also be supervised for three years after his release. The extended prison sentence means he can be returned to jail if he breaches the terms of his licence. He was further put on the sex offenders list and banned from going near the victim. These were both set for an indefinite period at the High Court in Glasgow.
