Evil Scots Rapist Jailed for 15 Years for 'Despicable' Sex Attacks

Stephen Whyte, 47, was sentenced to 15 years in prison at the High Court in Edinburgh on Thursday, January 5, for a series of sexual and violent offenses, including rape.

The crimes took place in the Fife area between 2006 and 2020. Whyte was convicted of taking advantage of multiple victims, who were praised for their courage in coming forward and reporting his abhorrent actions.

Police Scotland stated that the outcome of the trial should encourage survivors of sexual abuse to report incidents to the authorities, emphasizing that all reports will be thoroughly investigated regardless of their age.

Detective Inspector Frank Keegan of Police Scotland said: "Stephen Whyte took advantage of his victims over a number of years and he will now face the consequences of his despicable actions in prison. His victims were incredibly brave to come forward and report Whyte, then give evidence in court. Our thoughts remain with them and I hope that today's sentencing will give them some comfort and help them move forward."

Keegan continued, "We remain committed to supporting victims of sexual crimes and thoroughly investigating those responsible by bringing them to justice, no matter how much time has passed. I would urge people to come forward to police and report it. They can be assured of being fully supported by officers and partner agencies."
