A man who raped a 15-year-old girl and sexually assaulted two women in Orkney has been jailed.

Jacob Davies, 22, locked the girl in a public toilet before raping her.

He was convicted of a total of seven offences dating between 2018 and 2021.

At the High Court in Glasgow, Lord Arthurson said: "The impact of your crimes has been utterly devastating." Davies was given a nine-year extended sentence of six years in jail and then supervision for three years.

Davies had been found guilty last month.

Lord Arthurson said: "From the background report prepared you continue to deny the charges, as is your right.

"It is plain from the gravity of the offending you were convicted of, only a substantial custodial sentence is appropriate."

Davies was put on the sex offenders register for an indefinite period.
