Former River City actor Iain Robertson jailed for nine years for rape and assault
The court also added Robertson to the sex offenders register and imposed a 99-year non-harassment order after convictions for five offences against women.
- Actor Iain Robertson is due to be sentenced on Thursday at the High Court in Edinburgh after being found guilty of raping one woman and four other assaults.
- Robertson, known for his role in the Scottish TV drama River City, was convicted last month of five offenses against several women occurring between 2004 and 2019.
- During the trial at the High Court in Glasgow, a woman testified Robertson raped her between 2018 and 2019, describing how she went "limp" when he was on top of her.
- Giving evidence, Robertson said he was "no angel" but denied any wrongdoing, claiming he is "aware" of consent and "sensitive" to non-verbal communication.
- Although Robertson denied the allegations throughout proceedings, the jury found him guilty of rape and four other charges, finalizing the legal process leading to sentencing.
