>A rapist who exposed two girls to pornography at a young age and went on to sexually abuse them has been jailed for seven years.
>Malcolm Lamont, 34, targeted the children over a seven-year period in Motherwell.
>Lamont, formerly of Denny, near Falkirk, denied a series of charges during an earlier trial at the High Court in Livingston, but was convicted of six offences.
>Judge Fiona Tait told Lamont at the High Court in Edinburgh that his crimes were “of considerable gravity” which had a significant impact on the victims.
I am constantly in awe of how small the sentences are for rape in Scotland/UK. And this is on the higher end.
