RAPIST SOCIAL WORKER IS CAGED

Monster locked up for eight years

- CONNOR GORDON and GRANT MCCABE

A SOCIAL worker who carried out a string of depraved sex attacks on three women was jailed for eight years yesterday. 

Thomas Proctor preyed on his victims – including using his position to threaten to have the children of two of them removed from their care.

The 43-year-old raped one while she was recovering in hospital. He also took advantage of a victim after she drank water with a mystery substance in it.

Proctor had denied the accusations during a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. But jurors found him guilty of a total of 11 charges.

They included the repeated rape and indecent assault of the first woman at different locations in Lanarkshire.
