Rapist's prison sentence increased to 14 years after Crown appeal

A rapist found guilty of sexually abusing two young children has had his prison sentence increased following a successful appeal by the Crown.

Ryan Brown, 36, was jailed for seven years at the High Court in Glasgow on 11 July 2024 after being convicted of two charges the previous month.

The Crown Office asked the court to consider imposing a longer custodial term due to the serious nature of the offences. The Appeal Court upheld the Crown appeal. The original sentence has been quashed and replaced with a 14-year extended sentence, with the custodial part set at 11 years.

Brown was found guilty of raping one child and causing another child to participate in sexual activity.
