A MAN has been sentenced to five years imprisonment for a series of sexual offences across Forth Valley.

Mohammed Akram, 64, was given an order for lifelong restriction alongside half a decade in prison for the offences, committed over a span of 30 years in Forth Valley, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Akram was sentenced for the crimes, including rape and sexual assault which targeted four women, at Glasgow High Court on Monday, August 19.

Detective Sergeant Ryan McMurray said: “Akram is an abusive individual who showed no remorse for his violent and abusive actions.

“I would like to commend the women for their strength in coming forward during the investigation.

“Their information was essential in helping us build the case against him, and I hope this outcome provides them with some sense of closure.
“If anyone is experiencing or has experienced any type of violence or sexual abuse, please report it.

“We have detectives dedicated to investigating such offences. You can be assured that you will be fully supported by officers and our partner agencies."
