Description
David Devine, a 44-year-old man from Busby, East Renfrewshire, Scotland, has been convicted of raping and sexually assaulting a 39-year-old woman at his home in December 2022.
The assault took place on the sofa in his living room while his children and the victim's children were sleeping upstairs. Devine carried out the attack after his wife had gone upstairs to check on the children. The incident ended when his wife returned and intervened.
Following a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh, Devine was found guilty of rape and sexual assault. He was sentenced to six years in prison. Additionally, he has been placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely and issued with a non-harassment order preventing him from contacting the victim.
