Detective Inspector James Leeson said: “The conviction of Stephen White is testament to how seriously we take all reports of sexual offences and to how closely we work with our partners to support victims and bring perpetrators like White to justice.
“It is clear that White represents a risk to women living in Scotland. Victims of domestic abuse often suffer in silence.
“However they should take confidence in outcomes such as this case and be assured that no matter how long ago these crimes are committed, Police Scotland will listen to them and be relentless in our desire to bring offenders to justice.
