This time last year

A Rutherglen man who had spent five years in prison for a crime he did not commit told his extraordinary story.

Jim Boyle was caged after being found guilty of raping two young girls numerous times in the 1970s.

The verdict was quashed in 2009 but Jim was not released until after another trial in 2010 resulted in a not proven verdict.

Despite being cleared of any wrongdoing, the 60-year-old English teacher told how he had been unable to pick up the thread of his old life in an explosive interview with the Reformer.
