PETER GRANT FROM SUTHERLAND SENTENCED FOR SERIOUS SEXUAL OFFENCES IN EDINBURGH

In a significant legal development, Peter Grant, a 54-year-old resident of Sutherland, was sentenced to a total of six years in prison by the High Court in Edinburgh. The court also imposed an additional two-year extended sentence, reflecting the gravity of his crimes.

Police Scotland issued an official statement following the sentencing, emphasizing the seriousness of the offences and the judicial process that led to this outcome. Grant had previously entered a guilty plea to multiple charges related to sexual offences committed over a span of several years.

The offences in question occurred between 2010 and 2015 and involved a female victim who was only nine years old at the time of the initial incident. The abuse continued over the years, with the victim being subjected to these heinous acts until she reached the age of 14.

The case drew significant attention due to the nature of the crimes and the vulnerability of the young victim. The court's decision underscores the importance of holding offenders accountable and protecting children from such predatory behavior.

Peter Grant’s conviction and sentencing serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing efforts by law enforcement and judicial authorities to combat sexual offences and ensure justice for victims across Scotland.
