The extended prison sentence means he can be returned to jail if he breaches the terms of his licence. He was further put on the sex offenders list and banned from going near the victim. These were both set for an indefinite period at the High Court in Glasgow. Hatton was earlier convicted of four charges, committed between 2017 and 2021, including the repeated rape of the girl at different addresses in Fife. The abuse survivor told of the life-changing consequences of her ordeal in an impact statement described as “very articulate” by the judge. Hatton was a DJ in Fife.
