Vulnerable woman raped in her flat

A man has raped a woman with learning difficulties at her flat in Rutherglen.

Jonathan Steel, 51, had helped to decorate the woman’s flat in the South Lanarkshire town.

The High Court in Glasgow was told Steel returned to her home on the evening of 30 October last year and raped her.

Steel admitted raping the 28-year-old woman.

He was placed on the sex offenders’ register and will be sentenced later this month.

Prosecutor Liam Ewing said: “The complainer is vulnerable and has learning difficulties.”
