Anthony Plaskett, aged 38 and a resident of Borthaugh Road in Hawick, was sentenced to prison yesterday after being found guilty of multiple serious sexual offenses committed in the Scottish Borders and West Lothian.
The conviction followed a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh, where Plaskett maintained his innocence, claiming, "I never raped anybody and these things are not true." During the proceedings, it was established that Plaskett had carried out two separate sexual assaults in his hometown of Hawick and a third in Bo'ness.

The second assault in Hawick also took place in April 2021 at another address.
In this incident, Plaskett seized a woman by her body and raped her.
The victim testified that she repeatedly told him
