A 76-year-old man has been sentenced to five years for sexual assaults on women in North Lanarkshire
A man has been convicted of a series of sexual offences against women in the North Lanarkshire area.
Krishna Singh, 76, was found guilty at Dumfries Sheriff Court on Friday, 31 October, 2025.
He was found guilty of numerous sexual offences that took place between 1984 and 2017 and was sentenced to five years in prison, to run concurrently with a sentence he is currently serving,
Detective Chief Inspector Stevie Smith, of the National Rape and Sexual Crime Division, said: "Krishna Singh is now facing the consequences of his appalling and predatory behaviour.
"Singh was a doctor, and in a position of trust, and someone that these women should have been safe with but he violated that trust.
"The victims have shown great strength in coming forward with vital information, making sure he was held accountable for his actions, and ultimately convicted.
"I hope this conviction provides a sense of closure for them and sends a clear message that all reports of sexual abuse, regardless of the passage of time, will be thoroughly investigated by Police Scotland and victims will be supported throughout.”
