Mason Ferry, a Garelochhead Rapist hairdresser who sexually assaulted a young woman, causing her to experience recurring nightmares, has been sentenced to a prison term of almost four years.
Mason Ferry perpetrated two assaults on the victim at a residence in Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute.
In addition, the 22-year-old engaged in sexual assault on another woman at a Travelodge hotel in Stirling.
Mason Ferry was jailed at the High Court in Glasgow on Thursday after previously being found guilty of the offences.
The crimes took place from 2018 to 2021.
Judge Douglas Brown sentenced him to a combined term of four years and three months in prison.
Mason Ferry, a resident of Garelochhead in Argyll and Bute, will be indefinitely included in the sex offenders registry.
Jurors heard the rape victim describe how she was left feeling “used and worthless” having been attacked.
The young woman preyed upon at the hotel was said to have been “frightened” and had demanded Mason Ferry stop.
She was also left in tears by her ordeal.
Edith Forrest KC, defending, said a pre-sentencing report focused on Mason Ferry’s “continued denials to the charges”.
The advocate stated Mason Ferry was a qualified hairdresser, although they had latterly been working in a distillery on the Isle of Mull.
Ms Forrest said: “I can say that he was able to articulate empathy and insight to those who have been subject to sexual offences.
“He has that level of awareness, but there are continued denials.”
Judge Brown also imposed non-harassment orders banning Mason Ferry from contacting the two women, a third of whom he had breached bail by phoning.
Sentencing, he told Mason Ferry: “Both of the sexual crime victims submitted impact statements describing how your behaviour continues to affect many aspects of their lives.
“You caused (the first) to sink into depression, and she still has flashbacks and vivid nightmares.
“The second has continued to have difficulty maintaining relationships because of how you treated her.”
