HARRY CANNING PLEADS GUILTY TO SEXUAL ABUSE IN PERTH AND KINROSS, SENTENCED TO NINE YEARS

An 80-year-old man named Harry Canning has been sentenced to a nine-year prison term after being found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting two young women who were considered vulnerable. The heinous crimes took place over a period spanning from 2010 to 2017, with incidents occurring in both Fife and Perth, located within the region of Perth and Kinross.

Harry Canning’s conviction was secured following a trial held at the High Court in Livingston during October. The court proceedings revealed the disturbing nature of his offenses, which involved repeated sexual abuse of the victims over several years. As part of his sentencing on Tuesday, Canning was also ordered to be placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register for an indefinite period, ensuring ongoing monitoring of his activities.

In the aftermath of the court case, Detective Constable Alastair Gibson issued a statement condemning Canning’s actions. He described Canning as a predator who subjected two vulnerable females to what he called “horrendous sexual abuse” over an extended period. The detective also highlighted that Canning has consistently refused to admit guilt and has shown no remorse for his actions, further aggravating the severity of his crimes and the impact on the victims.

Authorities and community members alike have expressed their relief that justice has been served in this case, emphasizing the importance of protecting vulnerable individuals from predators like Canning. The case underscores the ongoing need for vigilance and support for victims of sexual abuse, especially those who are most at risk.
