Midlothian rapist Sean Hogg changes name and identity after walking free from court

A convicted rapist who walked free from court is living under a new identity after changing his name.

Sean Hogg was able to dodge a prison sentence for the attack on a 13-year-old because he’s aged 21. It emerged last week that the Crown Office is to appeal Hogg’s sentence on grounds it was too lenient.

And our sister title the Sunday Mail can now reveal he’s calling himself Sean Kay and using the name at an address in Hamilton. It’s feared that the rapist will use the new name to avoid links to the court case and go undetected in new relationships.
