Iain Robertson

Iain Robertson, 45, was sentenced to nine years in prison at the High Court in Glasgow following his conviction for five offences, including rape, sexual assault, and engaging in a course of abusive behaviour. Lady Drummond, presiding, also imposed a three-year supervision period, placed Robertson on the sex offenders' register indefinitely, and issued indefinite non-harassment orders.

The court heard that Robertson, formerly an actor, committed these offences against three women between 2004 and 2019. The jury found him guilty of raping one woman and carrying out a sexual assault against her. Additionally, he was convicted of engaging in a course of abusive behaviour towards that same woman, characterised by controlling actions and threats. Regarding a second woman, Robertson was convicted of assault for pouring wine over her head and property. He was further found guilty of threatening and abusive behaviour towards a third woman, a colleague who described his conduct as obsessive.

Lady Drummond stated that Robertson’s conduct was part of a persistent pattern intended to exert power and control over his victims, noting that his actions caused long-lasting psychological harm. During sentencing, the court noted that Robertson has been out of work since 2023.
