A man who raped a 20-year-old woman during an attack at the Swanfield Industrial Estate in Leith earlier this year has been jailed.
Krzysztof Druzgala was today sentenced to seven years in prison at the High Court in Edinburgh, following the incident, which happened around 4.30am on Saturday 30th August.
The 21-year-old approached his victim as she made her way to work before subjecting her to a serious sexual assault.
A major police investigation was undertaken and the 21-year-old was subsequently identified and apprehended.
He previously pled guilty to the attack at the High Court in Glasgow in October.
Detective Chief Inspector Alwyn Bell said: “This was a horrific ordeal for the young woman to endure and a thorough investigation was undertaken to identify the perpetrator.
“As a result of extensive CCTV enquiry Druzgala was identified and brought to justice for this crime.
“I would like to pay tribute to his victim at this time for her courage and continued assistance during our investigation. I hope that with her attacker now due to spend several years behind bars she can begin to move on with her life.”
