Police are praising the bravery of a young rape victim as a Dundee man is jailed for more than 10 years.

Bryan Wilson carried out a catalogue of abuse on the teenage girl over a number of years - as well as another woman.

Officers say they had the courage to speak up.

Wilson's crimes were all committed in Dundee. He was sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh to 10 years and four months behind bars, with a further four years on licence.

Detective Inspector Marc Lorente, the senior investigating officer from Tayside Division CID, said: “We welcome the sentencing of Bryan Wilson and I would like to acknowledge the bravery of the teenage girl who came forward and worked with our specialist officers.

"She had been subjected to a catalogue of abuse and ill treatment by Wilson over a significant number of years.

"I would also like to thank the woman who had been subjected to repeated rapes over a sustained period by Wilson and also had the courage to speak up.

"The bravery of these two females will also send a message out to victims that no matter how long the abuse has gone on, there is support out there and we will pursue a thorough investigation, using all means at our disposal, whilst working with the Procurator Fiscal, to bring such predators before the court.”
