James Henderson has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for sexual offences and assaults in Dundee.

The incidents, including assault and rape, were committed against four women between 2008 and 2021.

The 45-year-old received his sentencing at the High Court in Edinburgh on Friday, 12th January 2024, after previously being found guilty following a trial in November 2023.

The 14 year jail term will be followed by four years extended sentence supervision.

Detective Inspector Gordon Patullo said: “Henderson will now have to face the consequences of his actions and I hope this sentence provides some form of comfort for his victims.

“Police Scotland is committed to bringing those responsible for sexual crimes to justice. We will continue to work alongside our partners to support victims and ensure offenders are brought to justice.”
