A rapist has been jailed for five years after carrying out a sex attack on a teenager.
Graham Watson began the sexual assault on the-then 19-year-old when she was asleep and under the influence of alcohol but continued after she wakened.
Watson, 48, struggled with her and lay on top of her and raped her during the attack at a flat in Dundee on January 15 last year.
Watson, whose address was given as care of a flat in Strathmore Avenue, had denied a string of offences during an earlier trial at the High Court in Edinburgh.
He was found guilty by majority verdicts of sexually assaulting and raping the teenage girl and carrying out a further sexual assault on another woman at the Rewind nightclub in Seagate on January 14 and 15 last year by touching her leg.
He was acquitted of a further sexual assault which allegedly happened at a tent at the T in the Park music festival campsite at Balado, Kinross, on July 13 or 14 2013.
He was accused of putting his arms around a woman, trying to kiss her and touching and trying to touch her.
The lorry driver was unanimously found not guilty of a further alleged indecent assault said to have occurred at an address in Arbroath, in Angus on December 25 2007 when he was accused of exposing himself to a woman.
Defence counsel Lorraine Glancy told the court that in normal circumstances the father-of-five was a hard-working man.
Lord Uist pointed out that Watson only had one previous conviction for an assault which resulted in a fine and a compensation order.
He told Watson: “You have a very good work record.
“It is sad to see someone of your age and background appearing in this court to be sentenced for the crime of rape.”
Watson was placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely.
