Man sentenced for sexual offences in Fife
At the High Court in Edinburgh today, Thursday, 5 January, 2023, Stephen Whyte was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Whyte, 47, was convicted of a number of sexual and violent offences, including rape, following a police investigation. The offences took place in the Fife area between 2006 and 2020.
Detective Inspector Frank Keegan of Police Scotland said: “Stephen Whyte took advantage of his victims over a number of years and he will now face the consequences of his despicable actions in prison.
“His victims were incredibly brave to come forward and report Whyte, then give evidence in court. Our thoughts remain with them and I hope that today’s sentencing will give them some comfort and help them 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.”
