Dundee man jailed for campaign of rape and violence

A man has been jailed for eight years for a 14-year campaign of violence and rape against five women.

Cameron McGregor, 34, targeted his victims from 2008, when he was aged 16, until 2022 in Dundee, and Newport-on-Tay in Fife.

A trial at the High Court in Edinburgh heard how he punched and struck three women, while two others were subjected to repeated rapes.

McGregor, a former scaffolding firm owner, denied the charges but was convicted of violence and rape.

Defence solicitor advocate Kris Gilmartin said that McGregor served in the Army before being medically discharged and went on to run his business.

He said: “Prior to his remand he had 10 employees all of whom have now been made redundant.”

McGregor was also placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely.

Judge Lord Ericht made non-harassment orders prohibiting McGregor contacting or attempting to contact his victims.

Following the sentencing, Det Insp Gordon Patullo said: “McGregor is an abusive individual who subjected his victims to years of horrific offending, and he will now face the consequences of his actions.”
