Man convicted of serious sexual assault in Aberdeen

A man has been convicted of a serious sexual assault in Aberdeen earlier this year.

Kyle Allan, 31, pleaded guilty to the rape and serious assault in the Cove area on Saturday, 10 June, 2023, at the High Court in Edinburgh today, Friday, 27 October. He’ll be sentenced at a later date.

Detective Inspector Mark Lambley said: “Kyle Allan is an extremely dangerous individual who attacked a woman in her own home. His actions were despicable and have had a profound effect on the woman.

“I commend her for her strength throughout the investigation.
