Glasgow man jailed for drugging and raping two women
The attacks took place in 1992 and 2016.
A rapist who drugged his two victims before assaulting them has been jailed for 12 years.
George Cummings, 55, from Glasgow, who boasted to one of his victims that he looked like celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, told her he wanted a threesome with her and a 10-year-old girl.
After drinking the wine poured by Cummings the woman, who was wearing black trousers, a black tunic top and boots, has no memory until she woke up at 3am dressed in a red dress and shoes.
She said: “I knew I had been drugged with something.”
Cummings was convicted at the High Court in Glasgow of raping a 47-year-old woman in a flat in Langbank on September 22, 1992, and raping a 50 -year-old woman in a flat in Oban on January 6, 2016.
Yesterday, judge Johanna Johnston QC jailed Cummings for 12 years and ordered that he is supervised for two years on his release.
She said: “The complainers spoke to a pattern of conduct by you that bore clear similarities.
“Each woman was drugged and detained against their will and isolated.”
She said this allowed him to “perform violent sexual offences” on them and “humiliate and degrade them”.
Cummings will be on the sex offenders' register indefinitely.
In evidence the 50-year-old mother told of how Cummings visited her home after they hooked up on Plenty of Fish.
She said: "He told me people said he looked a lot like Gordon Ramsay. When I saw him in the flesh I thought 'what have I done'."
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told the court that the first thing Cummings did when he went into her home was to go into her kitchen alone and pour two glasses of Rioja.
After drinking the wine the woman, who was wearing black trousers, a black tunic top and boots, has no memory until she woke up at 3am dressed in a red dress and shoes.
She said: “I knew I had been drugged with something.”
When she woke at 3am Cummings drugged her again by forcing powder into her mouth.
She said: “I told him I was worried something bad was going to happen and I felt vulnerable and he said: “That's okay, I like my women vulnerable.
“I was worried I wasn’t going to see my children again. I just wanted to make it through to the morning and for him to go.
“At one point he said he wanted a threesome with me and a 10-year-old girl.”
The woman described a “painful” sexual assault by Cummings, who has previous convictions dating back to 1979, and said he offered to set her up as a prostitute.
She said she had made it clear to him she was not going to have sex with him.
Cummings' first victim had her soft drinks spiked first with amphetamine at a bar and then with cocaine in Cummings' flat in Langbank.
He then raped her in the flat. His victim said she felt helpless and added: “I told him a couple of times I didn't want sex, but he just carried on.”
The woman said when he raped her she was in a lot of pain and felt “like I was being ripped apart”, and added: “He was enjoying the pain he was inflicting on me.”
The jury heard that during the violent attack Cummings ripped out handfuls of the woman's hair and threatened to turn her into a prostitute.
She also woke up to find at one point to find most of her clothing had been removed.
In evidence Cummings, who described himself as a self employed buyer of commodities and vehicles, denied ever having anyone more than a kiss and a cuddle with either victim and accused them both of being liars.
