DYLAN STIRLING

CRACK ADDICT RAPED GIRL JUST 5 MONTHS AFTER BEING RELEASED FROM PRISON

A crack addict raped an “isolated, vulnerable and very, very scared” 14-year-old girl who arrived at his Dundee flat to get drugs from him.

“Remorseless” Dylan Stirling was given an extended sentence and placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely.

Just five months after being released from jail for another crime, “self-serving” Stirling struck when his young victim took a late night cab to his Charleston home in search of cannabis.

Convicted woman beater Stirling, 26, was found guilty by majority following a trial in December.

After the June 8th, 2024 attack the girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, fled and alerted a shop security guard.

Sentencing had been deferred for Stirling to be interviewed by social workers and he appeared at the High Court via video link from HMP Perth.

Judge Lady Ross imposed an extended sentence of 11 years, eight years of which will be served in custody.

The sentence was backdated to May 2025.

She placed high-risk Stirling on the sex offenders register for the rest of his life and put a non-harassment order in place to protect his victim from any contact for the remainder of hers.

The court heard that he has 22 previous convictions relating to road traffic matters, knives, assaults, dishonesty, violence including domestic abuse.
