Former River City actor Iain Robertson is sentenced after being found guilty of rape and sexual assaults, according to multiple UK news outlets. BBC News and other reports say the 45-year-old, who played Stevie O’Hara in the BBC soap, was convicted of five offences carried out against a woman between 2004 and 2019. Sky News and the Daily Record report that Robertson is jailed for nine years after a trial. Several outlets also state that the case involved rape of one woman and assaults against other victims. Robertson denied the charges, but was found guilty following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow, with the guilty verdict reached last month. Additional outlets report that sentencing is due at the High Court in Edinburgh, where he is scheduled to be sentenced following conviction. One source reports a different sentencing figure, but the majority of coverage says a nine-year prison term is imposed for the offences described.
