A bid by prosecutors to extend the sentence of a GP jailed for a sex attack on a teenager has failed – despite one of Scotland's top judges admitting the initial sentence was "lenient".
Manesh Gill, 39, was convicted unanimously of rape in a Stirling hotel in December 2018 following a trial at the High Court last year. The married dad-of-three sought out the woman on Tinder, giving a false name and posing as a 23-year-old to arrange a meeting.
Gill, from Edinburgh, met the young woman at the hotel bar on December 8 2018, where they had drinks before she tried to leave via a visit to the toilet. But the predatory doctor lied and claimed the loos were out of order in order to entice her back to a room he had booked in advance.
