Simon Scott sexually assaulted female models during photoshoots in Aberdeen and Glasgow.
An Aberdeen photographer convicted of sexually assaulting several female models during photoshoots has been jailed.
A jury took almost six hours to convict him following an earlier trial. One victim said justice had been done.The sheriff said Scott had carried out a "predatory course of conduct against complainers who were much younger than you, over a period of time".Scott was also placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years.
He was arrested in 2020 after a post appeared on social media calling for any women who had experiences with him they thought to be criminal to report it to police.During the investigation, cybercrime officers looked through several million images from Scott's storage devices.During the trial, Scott said his life had been destroyed - losing his business overnight - and described the allegations as a "co-ordinated and calculated attack on my character".
One of his victims told BBC Scotland News: "We were all young, it's something that's stayed with all of us, and he needed to be brought to justice."She said: "It was meant to be a outdoor photoshoot, but when I got there, he took me to a studio.
