Serial rapist Owen Orr given 11-year jail sentence

Orr was convicted of the offences after trial earlier this year.

Sentencing, Lord Doherty said a background report indicated that he continued to deny responsibility and added: “You have expressed no remorse.”

The judge said victims had suffered lasting consequences as a result of Orr’s crimes.

Lord Doherty said: “You were not a fully mature adult when these offences were committed but you were an adult, aged 20 to 22, when the most serious were committed.”

He ordered that Orr should be under supervision in the community for a further four years after his jail term, when he will be under licence and can be returned to jail if he breaches its conditions.

Orr, a prisoner, began his crimes in 2018 in Hawick when he targeted a victim for violence.

He threw a can at her which hit her on the body, punched her in the face, grabbed her by the hair and arms and seized her head and struck it against a door frame.
