A former Hebridean charity campaigner, guilty of a catalogue of historic abuse, has had his jail term doubled. Christopher Baker, 77, who was once the director of the Mull and Iona Community Trust, was caged in November last year.
Baker served on the MICT between 1998 and 2019 and was charged with abusing youngsters between 1986 and 2000. He was jailed for two years after a jury found him guilty.
But prosecutors appealed the sentence as unduly lenient and he returned to the dock this month. The Sheriff Appeal Court in Edinburgh quashed the sentence, imposing a four-year jail term instead.
