A Fife man has been jailed for almost six years for a series of serious sexual offences across Tayside.

John Todd, 34, was found guilty in June of a number of offences, including rape, against three different women.

The incidents happened over a five year period across Perth, Angus and Fife.

He was sentenced to five years and 10 months imprisonment at the High Court in Edinburgh today.

Detective Sergeant Lauren O’Neil of Fife Division’s Rape Investigation Unit said:

“Todd is a predatory and dangerous man who has committed a variety of serious crimes against a number of different women over a protracted period of time.

“It is thanks to the courage of the women who came forward that he has been now been found guilty of his crimes and the cruelty of his behaviour has been exposed.

“I would like to commend the women for their bravery throughout this investigation and court proceedings. Hopefully the verdict today will help them moving forward.”
