A man has been jailed for seven years for violent and sexual offences on two women in the Paisley and Edinburgh areas.
Charles Morrison, 27, was found guilty of the offences spanning four years at the High Court in Paisley on Wednesday, 12 June, 2024. He was sentenced to seven years in prison at the same court today, Thursday, 11 July.
He was also given a 15-year Non-Harassment Order in relation to both victims and has been placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely.
Detective Inspector Cheryl Gebbie said: “Morrison has been found to be a danger to women and will now face the consequences of his actions.
“I hope his conviction and sentencing will bring justice to the women involved, who have shown great strength in reporting what happened to them.
“Police Scotland is committed to tackling all forms of violent and sexual offences, regardless of when they happened. I’d urge anyone who has been a victim of such abuse to come forward and report it to us. We will thoroughly investigate any reports and, working with our partner agencies, you will be supported throughout the process.”
