Outlander actor cleared of raping woman in Glasgow

Speaking outside the court Odjig said: “I have always known I was not guilty.

“There are three things that cannot be hidden. You cannot hide our grandfather the sun. You cannot hide our grandmother the moon. And you cannot hide the truth.”

Odjig also claimed that Scotland’s not proven verdict would hinder attempts to resurrect his career.

He said: “I have tried many times since this started to find work, but every door is always closed to me.

“A not proven verdict will make it more difficult to get my career back.

“I would have preferred not guilty, because that is what I am.”

The actor had been accused of raping the woman at the Premier Suites Plus serviced apartments in Glasgow’s Bath Street in 2021.

Prosecutors had alleged that the woman was intoxicated and asleep or unconscious and was incapable of consenting when Mr Odjig removed her lower clothing and carried out the act.
