29-Year-Old Jailed for Eight Years for Serious Sexual Offences

Ruaraidh McCartney, 29, was found guilty of a number of serious sexual offences on Wednesday, 5 July at the High Court in Glasgow. The offences were committed in Stirlingshire and Perthshire between 2011 and 2021.

McCartney was sentenced today (Tuesday, 1 August) at the High Court in Lanark to eight years in prison.

Detective Inspector Forbes Wilson said: "McCartney is a dangerous and predatory individual who has committed serious sexual offences against a number of women over an extended period of time. His conduct has been appalling and I hope his conviction will allow the women involved to move forward with their lives."

Detective Inspector Wilson continued, "I would urge anyone who has been the victim of sexual violence to come forward and report it to us, regardless of the passage of time. We, working with partner agencies, will support you through the process, investigate thoroughly and bring those responsible to justice."
