A Scots rapist who was found guilty of raping and abusing four women has been jailed for more than seven years. Sales advisor Rian Hood, 31, from Kilmarnock, raped one woman, sexually assaulted two others and subjected all of his victims to violent attacks.
A jury heard that Hood degraded and controlled his partners, tracking their movements and blocking their contact with friends and family. He was found guilty of ten charges against women, all carried out during the course of relationships.
At the High Court in Glasgow today, he was sentenced to seven years and six months in prison, and a three year extended sentence during which he will be closely supervised.
