Peter Buller sentenced to 12 years for sexual abuse

A 58-year-old man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison at the High Court at Edinburgh on Thursday, 15 June 2023 for sexual abuse against women and young girls.

Peter Buller will also be subject to an Order of Lifetime Restriction and placed on the sex offenders register.

Buller was convicted at the High Court in Stirling on Thursday, 15 December, 2022 following a police investigation.

A report was made to police in July 2020 and further enquiries carried out by officers revealed up to 14 victims, several of whom were children at the time.

The offences took place in the Perth, Kinross and Fife areas between 1984 and 2020.

Detective Constable Karen Nairn said: “Peter Buller is facing the consequences of his actions as he begins his prison term.

“The victims have been incredibly strong in coming forward and disclosing the terrible abuse they suffered. I hope knowing Buller is now behind bars offers them some solace as they move forward with their lives.

“We remain committed to supporting victims of sexual crime and protecting children from harm and abuse. We will use all available resources to find and arrest the abusers, no matter how much time has passed. I would urge anyone who is a victim of abuse to speak to police in the knowledge they will be fully supported.”
