Scots rapist preyed on women after nights out in Edinburgh

A vile sex beast raped two women after nights out in Edinburgh.

Raymond Nyiam, 28, was found guilty of the sickening attacks in the capital following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.

The predator first attacked a now 23-year-old woman, in the early hours of 5 March, 2017.

He then pounced on his second victim, a woman who is now 20 years old, in the early hours of 29 November, 2018.

The two victims were praised for their 'tremendous bravery' after coming forward to police about the attacks.

He is due to be sentenced at a later date.

Detective Inspector Jonny Wright from Edinburgh’s Public Protection Unit said: “Raymond Nyiam preyed on the two women following nights out in Edinburgh City Centre.

“Both victims have shown tremendous bravery by coming forward to the police and ensuring that Nyiam has been held accountable for his actions.

“Nyiam clearly thought he could get away with this despicable behaviour, however he was very wrong, and I hope today’s guilty verdict sends a clear message that nobody is above the law.

“Police Scotland takes any reports of rape or sexual assault extremely seriously and will rigorously investigate all complaints.

"I would urge anyone who believes they have been the victim of a sexual crime to contact Police Scotland through 101.”
