Man arrested in connection with sex attacks in Glasgow 22 years ago
Police are still looking for two other male suspects.
A 56-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with two sex attacks which happened within hours of each other in Glasgow over 20 years ago.
The first incident happened late on Saturday, 13 September, 2003 in a park area next to the River Kelvin.
A 22-year-old man was approached by three men who physically and sexually assaulted him.
Around two hours later, in the early hours of Sunday, 14 September, 2003, a 25-year-old man was also physically and sexually assaulted by three men.
The suspect was charged by officers yesterday and police are looking for two other men.
Detective Inspector John Dowds said: “These incidents were frightening and distressing for the victims who have had to wait over 20 years for someone to be arrested in connection with what happened.
“Time really is no barrier to a police investigation. We are committed to exploring all lines of enquiry and using advancements in forensics to ensure suspects are identified.
“At the time of these incidents my counterpart in Strathclyde Police appealed for anyone who may have been the victim of a similar attack to come forward and report it to police.
"I would echo this message today; anyone who has concerns should come forward and speak to officers, be assured you will be listened to and taken seriously.”
