POLICE Scotland has said a man has been jailed for eight years for serious sexual offences – including rape – committed in Fife.
John Weir, 29, who also uses the name John Krogan, appeared at the High Court in Aberdeen yesterday (Wednesday).
Weir was convicted of a number of sexual offences, including rape.
He carried out the offences on a number of women in the Fife area between 2010 and 2020.
Detective Sergeant Lauren O’Neil said: “Weir carried out these crimes over a number of years and he will now face the consequence of his despicable actions in prison.
“I hope this sentencing gives the victims who came forward some comfort and allows them to move forward.
“We take reports of such offences seriously, regardless of how much time has passed and work to support victims. I would encourage anyone who has been impacted by this type of crime to report it."
