 The five day trial took place at the High Court in Glasgow |
A rapist who attacked a teenage girl while on bail for another rape has been found guilty of both assaults. The High Court in Glasgow heard that Thomas Kerr was arrested in September 2004 for raping a 32-year-old singer he lured into a city centre lane.
The 20-year-old father-of-two, from Rutherglen, appeared in court and was allowed bail pending trial. In July this year he raped a 16-year-old girl.
Judge Ian Peebles QC ordered a risk assessment report before sentencing.
He said he wanted to determine whether Kerr would pose a continuing threat when released.
During the trial, the first victim told how she was chatted up by Kerr in August last year.

He tricked her into a lane near Sauchiehall Street and raped her.
He was arrested three weeks later when DNA from the crime was matched on the national database.
Kerr appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court and was freed on bail pending trial.
In July, Kerr met a 16-year-old girl who had been drinking cider with her friends.
He offered her some cocaine and they went to a park near Cresswell Street in the city's west end to try it.
She said she lost consciousness and when she came round Kerr was raping her.
In his evidence Kerr claimed both women had been willing to have sex with him.
