Sick Scots rapist who put young woman through 'terrifying ordeal' caged

A sick Scots rapist who 'subjected a young woman to a violent, unprovoked and terrifying ordeal' has been jailed for eight years.

Callum Duncan attacked his victim in Aberdeen's Raeburn Place in April 2019.

The 23-year-old was found guilty following a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh in April and sentenced to eight years behind bars.

Detective Inspector Lesley Clark of the North East Public Protection Unit praised the woman for coming forward.

She added: "Callum Duncan subjected a young woman to a violent, unprovoked and terrifying ordeal.

"It is due to her bravery throughout the police investigation and subsequent legal proceedings that he will now face the consequences of his appalling actions.

"Hopefully the bravery shown by the victim will give other individuals who have suffered abuse the strength to come forward and report crimes of this nature.

"We treat all reports of sexual crime – no matter when the offence happened – with the utmost professionalism and sensitivity to bring perpetrators of such crimes such as Callum Duncan to justice."
