'Opportunistic and predatory' rapist jailed for 14 years for attacks on four women
A man who preyed on four vulnerable women over a decade has been jailed for 14 years.
Barry Ingleson, from Newington in Edinburgh, raped three of his victims and attempted to sexually assault a fourth. He threatened two of the women and was physically violent to one.But a judge said his crimes were "opportunistic and predatory".The court heard that one of his victims had a bag pulled over her head and a mask placed over her mouth during one attack, which left her unconscious.
During sentencing at the High Court in Glasgow, Lord Arthurson told Ingleson he had carried out offences of "great enormity". The judge described one of the victims as "extremely vulnerable" and said: "Her evidence must have been especially difficult for the jury to observe.""It is noted that you are dismissive of your victims and your offending while accepting no responsibility."
Ingleson - who already had a string of previous convictions - will be supervised for a further four years on his release.Related Topics
