Scott Wilson, a 33-year-old chef from Edinburgh, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for raping a woman while she slept and subjecting her to a campaign of violent abuse.
A Scots chef has been jailed for 12 years after raping a woman as she slept amid a harrowing campaign of violent abuse. Sick Scott Wilson bombarded his victim with abuse messages, held her at knife point in a bathroom and, at another time, carried out the horrendous sex attack while she slept. The 33-year-old, from Edinburgh was also convicted for being in possession of the Class A drug cocaine on a number of occasions between July 2018 and June 2023.
He was found guilty of seven charges, including rape, on 6 November 2024 following a trial at the High Court in Livingston. Wilson targeted a woman over the course of several years. The court heard how the abuse initially began with Wilson calling the victim names, sending her abusive messages and acting in an aggressive manner towards her. But he soon turned violent, including repeatedly striking the woman on the head while uttering threats to harm her and her family. On one occasion, Wilson forced his way into a bathroom while armed with a knife and held the victim there against her will. He then subjected her to a sustained and violent assault, all to her severe injury and danger of her life. Wilson was found guilty of committing multiple violent sexual offences, including raping the victim while she was asleep and unable to consent. Today (January 8), at the High Court in Livingston, Wilson was given a 16 year extended sentence with the custodial part set at 12 years. His name has been added to the sex offenders register indefinitely. A non- harassment order, banning Wilson from contacting or attempting to contact the victim, was also granted for an indefinite period. Katrina Parkes, Procurator Fiscal for High Court Sexual Offences, said: 'Scott Wilson is a violent and predatory individual who poses an extreme danger to women.
