Dunfermline Man Jailed For Teenager Rape
A Dunfermline man who snatched a schoolgirl off the street and subjected her to a horrific sex attack is facing a lengthy jail sentence.
Mark Armstrong kidnapped his 15-year-old victim as she returned home from netball practice and warned her he had a flick knife and he would use it if she tried to flee or scream for help.
The 26 year old took her to his home, where he held her captive for more than 32 hours - and raped her.
At the High Court in Edinburgh, unemployed Armstrong, of Macbeth Road, admitted abducting, assaulting and raping the girl between March 12 and 14 this year.
He also pled guilty to a string of assault and robbery offences committed against women in the Fife town in the days leading up to the attack on the teenager.
A judge told Armstrong: "You have pled guilty to an appalling course of criminal conduct culminating in violent and sexual offences of the utmost depravity against a young girl then aged 15."
Lady Wise said that as a first stage she would call for a background report on Armstrong with a risk assessment. She placed him on the sex offenders' register and remanded him in custody.
