GRAHAM GORDON FROM ABERDEEN AND STONEHAVEN CONVICTED OF RAPE IN 2002 AND DENIED APPEAL

Graham Gordon, a man originally from Aberdeen, was formally convicted of a serious sexual offense at the High Court in Stonehaven in the year 2002. The court found sufficient evidence to establish that Gordon had committed the crime of rape, leading to his sentencing to a five-year prison term. The incident in question occurred after Gordon met a woman in a nightclub located in Aberdeen. Following their encounter, he took her to his residence in Bridge of Don, a suburb of Aberdeen, where the assault took place. The case was thoroughly examined in court, and the evidence presented was deemed compelling enough to secure a conviction.

Despite serving his prison sentence, Graham Gordon has not given up his efforts to overturn the conviction. Over the years, he has launched multiple legal challenges in an attempt to clear his name. However, these efforts have consistently been unsuccessful. Most recently, his latest appeal was heard by Lord Pentland at the Court of Session, Scotland’s supreme civil court. Unfortunately for Gordon, the court dismissed his challenge, reaffirming the original conviction and maintaining his status as a convicted rapist.

The case remains a significant example of the Scottish judicial system’s handling of serious criminal cases, and Gordon’s persistent legal pursuits highlight the ongoing debates surrounding criminal justice and the possibility of post-conviction appeals. The details of the case, including the court’s findings and the evidence used to convict him, continue to be part of the public record, emphasizing the gravity of the crime committed in 2002 in the city of Aberdeen and the surrounding areas, including Stonehaven.
