Detective Sergeant Graeme McLaren of Police Scotland said: “Robert Findlay took advantage of his victim over a number of years and he will now face the consequences of his despicable actions in prison.
“His victim was incredibly brave to come forward and report Findlay, then give evidence in court. Our thoughts remain with her and I hope that today’s sentencing will give her some comfort and help her move forward.
“We remain committed to supporting victims of sexual crimes and thoroughly investigating those responsible by bringing them to justice, no matter how much time has passed. I would urge people to come forward to police and report it. They can be assured of being fully supported by officers and partner agencies.”
