Scott Mclean, from Perth, was found guilty of 11 charges on 31 October 2024 following a trial at the High Court in Stirling. 

The 36-year-old targeted his victims at various locations in the Perthshire area. He was 17 when he began abusing the first victim in 2005.

Mclean was subsequently convicted of having unlawful sex with two girls, who were under the age of 16 at the time. On various occasions, he took the two victims to secluded locations, including public parks, before abusing them.

He was found guilty of raping one of the girls and using lewd, indecent and libidinous practices towards both of them.

A woman was also abused by Mclean, who subjected her to multiple rapes over the course of several years, including while she was asleep. He was convicted of sexually assaulting the same victim as well as threatening her while forcing her to take part in sexual activity during a Whatsapp video call without her consent.

Yesterday, at the High Court in Stirling, Mclean was given a 14-year extended sentence with 10 years in custody.

His name has been added to the sex offenders register indefinitely.

Non-harassment orders, banning Mclean from contacting or attempting to contact the three victims, were also granted for an indefinite period.
