A sex predator named Robert Kennedy, aged 43, has been sentenced to seven years in prison for raping a 15-year-old girl in a car park on September 24, 2021, on Merkland Street in Glasgow's Partick area.
Kennedy had previously plied the girl with alcohol and street Valium prior to the attack.
He was convicted of rape after a trial last month.
The court heard that Kennedy was already awaiting sentencing for a crime involving a hypodermic needle and was subject to two bail orders.
The judge, Lord Arthurson, described the girl as "highly vulnerable" and emphasized the damage caused by Kennedy, highlighting that he did not know his victim but provided her with drugs and alcohol.
Kennedy will serve a minimum of seven years, followed by three years of supervision, and has been added to the sex offenders list indefinitely.
Despite his conviction, Kennedy maintains his innocence.
