Russel Gray sentenced for sexual offences across Tayside and Fife

A 63-year-old man has been jailed for 11 years after being convicted of sexual offences in the Tayside and Fife areas.

Russell Gray appeared at the High Court in Glasgow today, Monday, 2 September, for multiple sexual assaults of a woman.

He was also issued a 99 year non-harassment order.

He was previously found guilty at Livingston High Court on Thursday, 20 June, 2024.

Detective Constable Alli Brown of the Divisional Rape Investigation Unit said: “Russell Gray is an abusive and violent individual who took advantage of a vulnerable female, showing no remorse for his actions.

"This was a complex and extremely disturbing case and I welcome the courts findings. We understand how distressing this has been for the victim and her family and commend them for the courage they had in reporting these crimes. We hope that the guilty findings provide some level of closure, knowing that he has been held accountable for his horrific actions.

"If anyone is experiencing or has experienced any type of violence or sexual abuse, you are not alone, and we would encourage you to report it to us, no matter the passage of time. You will be listened to and supported throughout the entire process by officers and our partner agencies, and together we will bring the perpetrator to justice.”
