JOSEPH HART GUILTY OF HISTORIC GLAZOW SEX OFFENSES INVOLVING CHILDREN
In June 2014, Joseph Hart, a 54-year-old man from Glasgow, was convicted of raping a primary school girl more than two decades earlier.
The offences occurred between 1991 and 1994, during which time the victim was aged four to seven.
Hart was also found guilty of sexually abusing another girl within the same age range.
The High Court in Glasgow heard that Hart's first victim had disclosed the abuse to an adult; however, no supporting evidence was found.
The case against Hart was strengthened when a second victim came forward and reported abuse to the police.
During the trial, Hart denied all charges, claiming that his victims were lying.
Judge Bill Dunlop QC ordered Hart to register as a sex offender and remanded him in custody.
A sentencing date has been scheduled for the following month.
