Glasgow Army Recruiter Guilty Of Rapes

Published 5th May 2015

An army recruitment sergeant from Glasgow has been found guilty of sex attacks on young female recruits.

Edwin Mee, 46, abused his power to "bully and groom'' young female cadets before pouncing on them.

His campaign of abuse began by spanking women on the bottom and escalated to raping a vulnerable recruit.

He was found guilty of carrying out sex attacks on seven victims after a trial at London's Southwark Crown Court.

He was convicted of 10 sexual assaults, two rapes and one count of assault by penetration.

Mee showed no emotion as the verdicts were read out.

He was found not guilty of three counts of sexual assault.

Jurors, who retired to consider their verdicts on Tuesday last week, are still deliberating on four counts of sexual assault and one of rape.
