Iain Robertson is due to be sentenced on July 23.

Actor Iain Robertson has been found guilty of rape following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.

The former River City star was convicted of a total of five offences against a number of women between 2004 and 2019.

The 45-year-old is due to be sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh on July 23.

The rape occurred some time between 2018 and 2019.

During the trial, the woman told the court Robertson had had sex with her despite her making clear she was not consenting, and described going “limp” when he was on top of her.

Giving evidence during the trial, Robertson said he was “no angel” but denied any wrongdoing.

He said he was “aware” of when a woman is consenting, and that he is “sensitive” enough to know about non-verbal communication.

However, the jury found him guilty of rape, along with four other charges.
