A man has been jailed for six years for serious sexual offences in East Lothian between 2010 and 2020.

Duncan Brown, 37, was sentenced today, Wednesday, 17 April, 2024 at the High Court in Edinburgh for the crimes, including sexual abuse and rape.

Detective Chief Inspector Stephen Wood said: “The actions of Brown were disgraceful and he has now been made to face the consequences of his despicable actions.
