Man found guilty of domestic abuse offences
A 41-year-old man has been found guilty at Stirling High Court, of a series of serious domestic offences across West Lothian, East Lothian, and Edinburgh.
Nicholas Hain carried out a number of violent and sexual domestic offences against six women, between 2006 and 2020.
Detective Inspector Frank Keegan, of the Domestic Abuse Task Force said: “Nicholas Hain’s offending was both physical and emotional, and carried out over a prolonged period of time with a number of different women.
“The strength and courage shown by these women has to be commended, and I hope this will allow them some form of closure.
“Tackling domestic abuse is a top priority for Police Scotland, and we will continue to work to remove offenders, such as Hain, from our communities.
“I would urge anyone who feels they've been a victim of domestic abuse, or has concerns about friends or family members, to get in touch with police."
