Man jailed for nine years for domestic abuse and sexual offences in Fife

A man has been sentenced to nine years in prison after being convicted of domestic abuse and sexual offences in the Fife and Perthshire areas.

Jonathan Rhind, aged 29, committed these crimes between February 2020 and January 2022.

He was found guilty of two charges following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow and returned for sentencing today, Wednesday, 23 October, 2024.

Detective Constable Matthew Ghilotti of the Fife Public Protection Unit said: “Rhind is an abusive individual who showed no remorse for his violent and controlling behaviour.

"We acknowledge how difficult these enquiries can be for individuals who have been subjected to domestic or sexual abuse, and I would like to commend the assistance provided during this investigation. I hope this outcome provides those exposed to his abuse, with some sense of closure.

"If anyone is experiencing, or has experienced domestic abuse, please do not hesitate to contact us directly or through one of our partner agencies.”
