Rapist Sean Hogg’s victim has received an apology from Scotland’s top law officer but remains a “prisoner in her own home” because he avoided jail.
A letter said sorry for Crown Office failures to keep her informed and confirmed that bail conditions preventing Hogg approaching her in the run-up to his trial no longer apply.
Despite her solicitor, Aamer Anwar, seeking reassurance from Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain KC that Hogg cannot approach her, none was given.
