Guilty of caravan park sex attacks

It was confirmed earlier this year the A-listed building will be disposed of by Dundee City Council.

There were objections from some locals, who launched a petition to stop the council from selling the castle to developers.

A DOUBLE rapist is facing jail after a jury found him guilty of carrying out sex attacks on women in Dundee.

Darren Cameron was convicted of raping two different women on various occasions between 2011 and 2019 at addresses in the city and at a caravan park.

The 25-year-old denied committing the offences and stood trial at the High Court in Dundee.

However, a majority of jurors found Cameron, of Princes Street, Perth, guilty of raping the two women.

Cameron was cleared of two other charges during the course of his trial.

Judge Lord Summers remanded Cameron in custody ahead of sentencing next year.

He said: “You don’t have a serious record, and I take account of your youth.

“In view of the verdict of the jury, I consider I should rescind bail, and you will be remanded in custody.”

Cameron was found guilty of pinning the first woman down, performing a sex act on her and raping her to her injury.

This occurred on various occasions between September 1 2011, and May 31 2012, at an address in Dundee.

On various occasions between July 23 and September 8 2019, Cameron raped the second woman at a different address in Dundee and at a caravan park in Perthshire.

Sentence was deferred on Cameron until January for a social work report to be compiled.

The case will next call at the High Court in Edinburgh.

Cameron was placed on the sex offenders register following his conviction.
