Police ScotlandA rapist who first attacked one of his victims when he was just 14 has been jailed for seven years.
Kyle Jackson was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow for crimes branded “downright evil” by relatives of his two victims.
The abuse also included the now 19-year-old holding an axe against the throat of one of the teenage girls.
Jackson had earlier been found guilty of a total of ten charges following a trial in Paisley including the repeated rape of both victims.
The offences occurred between 2020 and 2022 at different locations in the Renfrewshire town.
Jackson repeatedly preyed on the first girl who was also the victim of his violent temper as he choked her unconscious.
The sex attacks included him cutting holes in the tights that she was wearing.
The other traumatised girl suffered a similar ordeal at his hands.
Jackson raped her despite her desperate pleas for him to stop.
Jurors heard that he separately put this girl in a headlock, grabbed her wrists and hands as well as headbutted her.
Jackson even took photos of her as she wept.
Jackson, also of Paisley, had denied the charges.
Paul Nelson KC, defending, said: “He continues to maintain his innocence.
“The court will sentence on the jury’s verdict and not what Mr Jackson protests, one way or another.”
Judge Sheena Fraser said she accepted Jackson was of a similar age to the victims, but that each girl had been “vulnerable”.
She told him: “You took advantage of them.
“I have had the benefit of victim impact statements from each, which outline the harm that you caused them.
“It is clear that you do not take any responsibility for what you have done.”
Jackson will also be supervised for a further three years on his release.
The judge put him on the sex offenders list and banned him from approaching or contacting either victim. Both were each from an indefinite period.
The families of the two rape survivors had released a joint statement after the trial last month.
In one news report, they were quoted as saying: “They have to live with the trauma of what he has done to them for the rest of their lives.
“The crimes that were committed by Kyle Jackson were downright evil and we now feel justice has been served by the jury finding him guilty of the charges.”
