She explained police carried out specific enquiries involving the examination of devices, which linked Toothill to a number of suspected offences including fraud, blackmail and rape.She added: “In one of the rape cases the injured party provided police with a telephone number and App. When this was first reported to police we couldn’t identify a suspect, but when we had the defendant’s registered phone which was approved by police, we were able to establish there were other SIM cards.
"One is known to police as his registered number but is now linked to several malicious communication and blackmail matters.”
