Rapist attacked again only four months after release from jail

A sexual predator dragged a woman off the street, drove her to waste ground and raped her only four months after he was released from a prison sentence for a similar attack.

During the attack Grant McPherson took a phone call from his girlfriend, told her he loved her, and then carried on sexually assaulting his terrified victim.

The High Court in Glasgow heard that McPherson had downed a bottle of Buckfast and up to ten cans of lager before going out in his car at 4am.

Full story at The Scotsman.

Buckfast Tonic Wine is made by the Roman Catholic Community of Benedictine monks at Buckfast Abbey in Devon, and distributed by J. Chandler & Co (Buckfast) Ltd of Andover.
