Kerr Armstrong carried out a number of offences across East Lothian, Midlothian and the Scottish Borders
A rapist has been jailed for six years after a series of sexual and violent incidents across the Lothians.
Kerr Amstrong, 26, was found guilty of a number of offences including rape and sexual assault during a trial on Tuesday, March 31.
He returned to the High Court in Edinburgh on Wednesday, May 13 where he was handed a six-year prison sentence following his conviction.
Armstrong carried out the offences between February 2020 and December 2021 in East Lothian and Midlothian.
Offences also took place in the Scottish Borders area during this period.
Following his sentencing, Constable Craig Turnbull said: "Armstrong is a violent and depraved individual who now faces the consequences of his abhorrent actions.
"Our thoughts remain with his victim and I hope his sentencing provides her with some measure of comfort.
“His conviction is as a direct result of her strength in coming forward and assisting our investigation.
"Police Scotland will always thoroughly investigate, and we are here to listen and support victims.
“Anyone who is a victim of abuse or believes they know someone who may be a victim, please contact us or relevant support agencies."
