David Colquhoun, 45, committed the serious sexual offence against a woman at an address in Renfrew in April, 2023.

He was convicted on Tuesday, 3 June, 2025, and is due to be sentenced on Monday, 30 June.

Detective Inspector Euan McMillan said: “Colquhoun is now facing the consequences of his violent, sexual attack on this woman.

"We acknowledge it can be difficult for victims of sexual crimes to come forward and I would like to commend the woman for reporting Colquhoun. I hope this outcome provides her with some form of justice.

“We are committed to tackling all forms of sexual violence and I would urge anyone who wishes to report a crime, to come forward. You will be fully supported by our specially trained officers and partner agencies. There is no time bar to reporting, regardless of when it happened, please contact us so we can fully investigate.”
