The rape occurred some time between 2018 and 2019. During the trial at the High Court in Glasgow, the woman told the court Robertson had sex with her despite her making clear she was not consenting, and described going “limp” when he was on top of her. Giving evidence during the trial, Robertson said he was “no angel” but denied any wrongdoing. He said he is “aware” of when a woman is consenting to sex, and that he is “sensitive” enough to know about non-verbal communication. However, the jury found him guilty of rape, along with four other charges. More to follow… Most read in TV For the latest news on this story keep checking back at The Scottish Sun.
