A Kirriemuir Rapist, Logan Doig, who had completed their studies and committed sexual assault against four ladies was sentenced to imprisonment yesterday. However, their age resulted in a reduced term.
Logan Doig, a 23-year-old individual, was sentenced to imprisonment lasting nine and a half years at the High Court in Glasgow. This sentence was imposed due to a series of assaults that took place at a university and within residential halls.
However, the judge stated that he had decreased the duration of the sentence by the sentencing guidelines for juveniles.
Doig committed his actions from March 2015 until November 2020.
Three of the individuals who were raped, as well as an additional woman, experienced different forms of sexual assault.
Logan Doig, as shown in the picture, committed acts of violence against women in Forfar, Kirriemuir, Angus, and Dundee when he was between the ages of 15 and 21.
The crimes occurred at Forfar and Kirriemuir, Angus, and a residence in Dundee.
A woman was subjected to a brutal assault and sexual assault at Queen Margaret University, located in East Lothian. The incident took place in the student halls.
Doig, a resident of Kirriemuir, committed all the charges between the ages of 15 and 21. Last month, a jury convicted him of 12 offences, which included five allegations of rape.
Yesterday, Lord Clark imposed a 12-and-a-half-year extended sentence on him, which includes nine-and-a-half years of imprisonment, and he was also required to register as a sex offender. However, the court stated that he had imposed a less severe sentence on Doig than would have been handed to an older criminal under the rules.
Doig perpetrated a terrible attack on one of his victims at the Halls of Residence located on the campus of Queen Margaret University in East Lothian, as depicted in a photograph from the case file.
Advocates argue that those under 25 should be subject to reduced penalties due to their limited maturity and comprehension of the consequences of their acts.
The judge stated that the individual poses a significant risk to the safety of women, necessitating a lengthy term for the protection of the public. ‘You were within the age range of 15 to 21, and I must carefully consider the criteria for sentencing for young individuals.’
Following a sexual assault, a 17-year-old victim said that her accused perpetrator evaded legal consequences because of diversion from prosecution policies supported by the SNP. Consequently, the case was not brought to court but was referred to social workers.
Russell Findlay, the justice spokesman for the Scottish Conservative Party, expressed his opinion that the rules attempt to justify the most severe forms of criminal behaviour without regard for the victims.
