At the High Court in Glasgow on Monday, Martin Gavin was sentenced to five years and seven months in prison.
A man has been jailed over a series of sexual offences committed in a small town in West Lothian. Martin Gavin admitted a string of charges last month, including rape, sexual assault and voyeurism, which he carried out in Whitburn between 2011 and 2016.Police Scotland officers have now welcomed the sentence and have appealed to other victims of sexual crime to come forward.
Detective Inspector Jennifer Priestley, of the Divisional Rape Investigation Unit, said: “Justice has been done and Martin Gavin now faces the consequences of his despicable and distressing actions with a jail sentence. Sexual crime, of any nature, is not to be tolerated and we will thoroughly investigate any reports made to us, no matter how much time has passed.
"I would urge people to come forward and you can be assured of being fully supported by officers and our partner agencies.”Read next:
