A Port Glasgow man who was convicted of raping two women has been jailed for six years.
David McCready, 21, was also ordered to be monitored in the community for a year after his release from prison.
McCready was convicted of raping one woman in his home in October 2012 and the other on the waterfront in Greenock on November 16, 2014.
He was accused of raping another woman at his flat in August 2014, but that charge was found not proven.
The court heard that McCready, who was friends with his two victims set out to target them for sex.
Jailing him Judge Kenneth McIver QC said: “You raped two young women, both of them friends of yours before the offences. You used that to take sexual advantage. In the case of your second victim you had already been accused of the rape by two young women by that point.
“Friendship transformed into sexual violence. You simply decided sex was going to take place and carried that out with no regard to the feelings or wishes of your two victims.”
Judge McIver told McCready: “You have expressed no remorse for your actions and say you are the victim of false allegations by your victims.'
Defence counsel Tony Graham told the court that McCready continued to protest his innocence.
Mr Graham added: “Up until his conviction he was a contributor to society and had an excellent work record.”
McCready was placed on the sex offenders' register.
