Manesh Gill, 39, was convicted unanimously of raping a 19-year-old at a Stirling hotel.
A bid by prosecutors to extend the sentence of a GP jailed for a sex attack on a teenager has failed – despite one of Scotland's top judges admitting the initial sentence was "lenient".
She used the bathroom in his room before Gill plied her with a mug he claimed contained pink gin, which she later told the court had been "very strong". He took a Viagra as the victim began feeling "tired and heavy", before subjecting her to a prolonged and horrific rape ordeal during which she drifted in and out of consciousness.
But Crown prosecutors lodged an appeal against the sentence, arguing that the four-year jail time did not reflect the "gravity" of the offence or the fact it was premeditated. They sought to almost double the sentence to a period of between seven and eight years.
