A Scots serial rapist has been jailed after a string of horrific attacks across a six year period.

The violent 22-year-old raped four females a number of times in Edinburgh and Midlothian between 2014 and 2020.

His 'reprehensible' actions were brought to justice thanks to the bravery of his victims who came forward.

Detective Inspector Jonny Wright said: “Dillon Anderson’s offending took place over an extended period of time.

“His behaviour was reprehensible and having now been convicted of these serious offences, he will be held to account for his actions.

“I would like to commend the bravery of those that came forward to provide their evidence against Anderson, which has directly led to his conviction.

“Police Scotland is committed to thoroughly investigating such serious offences and bringing offenders to justice.

"Anyone wishing to report such offences should do so via Police Scotland."
