A RAPIST has been jailed for six years for the sexual and physical abuse of three women in the Fife area between 2019 and 2021.

Tyrone McLuckie was convicted of the crimes, including rape, at Edinburgh High Court on Wednesday, March 22, and was sentenced on Wednesday, April 19.

Detective Sergeant Graeme McLaren said: “I welcome the sentencing and commend the strength of the women for coming forward to reporting McLuckie of his despicable actions.

“He now faces the consequences and I hope that gives the women some comfort as they try to move forward from this.

“I would urge anyone who has been a victim of sexual violence to come forward, no matter how much time has passed, and report it to us.

"Be assured, we will fully investigate and you will be supported by police and our partner agencies.”
