Former River City star Iain Robertson has been jailed for nine years for raping a woman and assaulting two others.

The 45-year-old, who played Stevie O'Hara in the BBC soap, was last month found guilty of five offences between 2004 and 2019.

Robertson, who won a BAFTA for his performance in the 1996 Glasgow gang film Small Faces, also starred in Grange Hill, Rab C. Nesbitt, and Steven Spielberg's Band of Brothers.

The Judge told him his offending had involved "violence, coercion, intimidation, and sexual abuse".
