A former charity worker was jailed yesterday for raping two former girlfriends.
John Wood, 38, attacked the women, who can’t be named for legal reasons, a month apart at a flat in Glasgow.
Wood, who had been employed to help some of Scotland's most vulnerable people, denied raping the women in August and September 2015, at a flat in the city’s Dowanhill area.
But he was convicted following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow last month and returned to the dock yesterday to be sentenced.
He was jailed for six years for the offences, backdated to March 7, when he was first remanded in custody.
We told yesterday how Wood, who previously worked for Scottish homelessness charities Simon Community Scotland and Turning Point Scotland, and the Scottish Association for Mental Health, left his victims emotionally scarred.
His first victim, 44, said he first raped her when she decided to end their relationship.

And she said he later raped her again after holding her hostage, leading to her having a mental breakdown years later.
She said: "He held me captive in the bedroom of his flat for what felt like forever.
"I was absolutely broken and traumatised deeply."
