Former River City Actor Found Guilty
Former River City actor Iain Robertson has been convicted of raping a woman and assaulting two others. The 45-year-old, known for his role as Stevie O'Hara in the BBC soap, was found guilty of five offences, including domestic abuse, committed against the women between 2004 and 2019.
Trial Details and Witness Testimonies
During the trial held at the High Court in Glasgow, witnesses described Robertson as "violent" and "controlling". Judge Lady Drummond has deferred sentencing until 23 July.
Prosecutor's Closing Statement
"The jury had heard 'strong and overwhelming' accounts from the women about their experiences with the actor," prosecutor John Keenan KC stated during closing speeches.
"There was a 'common theme' of Robertson treating the women in a 'controlling, humiliating and demeaning' way," he added.
"Robertson's own evidence at the trial had been 'wholly incredible and unreliable'."
Defendant's Response
Robertson told jurors he was "no angel" but denied all charges against him.
