Rapist attacked another woman while on early release

A man who raped two women violently attacked another female while he was out on early release from prison.

Fraser Summers, 30, was jailed for nine years in 2010 for raping two prostitutes in separate attacks in November 2007 and April 2008.

But after being released early he attacked Lauren Cusick and her friend Glen Faulkner on 16 April 2017.

He grabbed Miss Cusick and strangled her against a shop window before chasing Mr Faulkner.

Summers then resisted arrest by refusing to allow officers to handcuff him, forcing a number officers to put him in the back of a van.

Summers, from Robroyston, Glasgow, went on trial at the city’s sheriff court where he denied assaulting anybody and claimed he was the victim of threats and was spat on during the early-morning incident.

But sheriff Eric Brown rejected his version of events, branding him “wholly incredible” and found him guilty of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner, two assault charges and resisting arrest.

Summers claimed he left the Savoy nightclub with his brother and insults and threats were hurled at him by a group on Sauchiehall Street.

Sentence was deferred on the current case until next month for reports.
