A Scottish Government guard was remanded in custody today after being found guilty of raping a woman whom he'd met only hours earlier during the Edinburgh Festival.
Khalid Alsrooji, 35, took his victim to a pal's flat in the city's Cowgate because he said his own strict-Muslim home-mate did not approve of him drinking.
On the sofa of a stranger to her, the 23-year-old East Lothian woman, who'd been in Edinburgh working at a Festival venue, drifted into an intoxicated sleep and woke to find her lower clothing had been removed and Alsrooji was having unprotected sex with her without her consent.
