Serial Aberdeen rapist jailed for 12 years

A man has been jailed for 12 years after being found guilty of more than a decade of abuse in the Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire areas.

Callum Gordon, 33, committed the crimes against three women over an 11 year period from 2009 to 2020.

He was previously found guilty of nine charges following a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh and returned for sentencing today (25 March).

Detective Inspector Gordon Patullo from the Domestic Abuse Task Force North said:

“Callum Gordon is a very dangerous individual and today he is facing the consequences of his despicable behaviour.

“The testimony of the three victims was absolutely crucial to unravelling his crimes and building such a compelling case against him and I hope they will now feel a sense of closure and be able to move on with their lives.

“I hope this outcome sends a clear message that Police Scotland will not tolerate domestic abuse in any form and takes all reports extremely seriously.

"I would encourage anyone who is experiencing this type of crime to come forward – you will be listened to, you will be supported and together we will bring the perpetrator to justice.”
