Man jailed for abusing teenage girls in Dundee over five years

One of his other victims was a 17-year-old girl, who he attacked while she slept at a flat in Dundee in March 2024.

Buchan targeted another teenager with abusive behaviour between June and December in 2024 at locations in Dundee when he demanded she remove males from her social media account.

He prevented her from using her mobile phone, isolated her from family and friends and stopped her visiting her mother.

During the abuse, he pulled her from a sofa and dragged her along the floor, repeatedly punched her and followed her.

On one occasion he told her to speak to a lawyer and attempt to retract a statement she gave to police in August 2024.

Buchan committed the abuse against the victim after being freed on bail eight times at Dundee Sheriff Court.

Defence solicitor advocate James Keegan KC, for Buchan, said he had had “a terrible life”.

He added: “Frankly, he has had no guidance in life at all. He has gone from one establishment to another.”

Buchan was placed on the sex offenders register and the court made non-harassment orders prohibiting him from contacting or attempting to contact the victims.
