A convicted child rapist who molested a young girl in hospital has died behind bars in Edinburgh.
Midlothian man Andrew Temple was found guilty in 2019 of seven offences, including two charges of rape and three of indecent behaviour towards the girl, as well as two further offences of indecency against boys who were between six and seven.
The sex offender targeted one girl from the age of eight, with the campaign beginning in 1996.
Attacks took place at addresses in Easthouses and Dalkeith, in Midlothian, and in Fort William, including at the Highland town’s Belford Hospital.
Temple was jailed for eight years after a Judge told the abuser that he had taken advantage of young children for his own sexual gratification.
He died at HMP Edinburgh on October 11 aged 60.
A Fatal Accident Inquiry will be conducted.
