Full Description

Yuen Lawson, a 37-year-old man, was convicted at the High Court in Edinburgh for a series of depraved sexual offences committed against young girls in Aberdeen between 2013 and 2022. The court heard that Lawson targeted vulnerable females, including girls aged as young as 14 and 15, subjecting them to repeated rapes, sexual abuse, and violent assaults.

Prosecutors detailed how Lawson carried out his crimes at two separate addresses in the city, exploiting his victims over an extended period. Among the charges, he was found guilty of raping a 14-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl, as well as abusing two women. The offences spanned nine years, demonstrating a pattern of predatory behaviour that deeply impacted the lives of his four victims.
