A high risk rapist who carried out a sex attack on a vulnerable woman found dead hours later has been jailed.
Lars Pederson preyed on Alison McAllister after coming across her at The Forth and Clyde Canal in Maryhill. The 38-year-old attacked the distressed mum as she sat alone struggling to come to terms with the death of her childhood sweetheart.
A judge told him at the High Court in Edinburgh on Monday that the circumstances of the offence were "extremely concerning". Lord Doherty imposed an Order for Lifelong Restriction on Pederson following the attack.
