A man has been sentenced to eight years in prison after being convicted of violence and sexual offences, including rape.

Jordan Richford, 30, committed these crimes against three women in Glasgow, Ayrshire and Inverclyde.

He was found guilty of the offences at the High Court in Glasgow Friday, 24 May, 2024.

Detective Inspector Russell Paton said: “Richford was an abusive individual and will now face the consequences of his despicable crimes in jail.

“My thoughts are with these women who showed immense strength in coming forward and assisting our investigation. I hope this sentencing brings them some form of comfort.

“If anyone is experiencing or has experienced any type of violence or sexual abuse we have detectives dedicated to investigating such offences, please report it. You can be assured that you will be fully supported by officers and our partner agencies."
