Man 64 jailed for series of sexual offences across Edinburgh, Forth Valley and Glasgow

A 64-year-old man has been given an Order for Lifelong Restriction along with five years imprisonment at Glasgow High Court on Monday, 19 August, 2024, after being convicted of a series of sexual offences across Edinburgh, Forth Valley and Glasgow.

Mohammed Akram committed these crimes, including rape and sexual assaults, over three decades against four women.

Detective Sergeant Ryan McMurray said: “Akram is an abusive individual who showed no remorse for his violent and abusive actions.

“I would like to commend the women for their strength in coming forward during the investigation. Their information was essential in helping us build the case against him, and I hope this outcome provides them with some sense of closure.

“If anyone is experiencing or has experienced any type of violence or sexual abuse, please report it. We have detectives dedicated to investigating such offences. You can be assured that you will be fully supported by officers and our partner agencies.”
