John Barr, 71, was found guilty of sexually abusing his victims over an eight-year-period following a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh.
An OAP Scots paedophile who raped and sexually abused two young girls for almost a decade has died in prison. John Barr passed away on October 4 while serving a seven year sentence at HMP Edinburgh.
One of the women, now aged in her 40s, came forward and reported the abuse to police in November 2017. Investigators then re-opened a previous case from 2003 which involved the other victim.
