A man has been found guilty of raping two teenagers on the same night in a Dundee car park.
Thomas Millar raped one of the girls in the back seat of a car and the other both inside and outside the vehicle.
He was on bail accused of raping another teenager at the time.
Millar has been on trial at the High Court in Dundee and was found guilty by the majority of jurors of three charges of rape.
The jury found Millar also had sexual activity and sex with another teenager years earlier.
Millar, who was already remanded at Perth Prison, had admitted three separate charges earlier in the trial.
The 22-year-old showed no emotion as the jury returned its verdict.
The first offender, formerly of Ettrick Crescent in Dundee, was placed on the Sex Offenders Register and further remanded ahead of sentencing.
Ignored victim’s pleas to stop
Jurors heard evidence from the teenagers raped by Millar.
In a police interview video, one 15-year-old girl explained how she and a friend had been in a car with Millar and another man last year.
The group visited shops in Dundee, where they bought alcohol and then picked up the second complainer
They drove to a car park in Dundee, with the three girls in the backseat.
She said: “Tommy had his own drink, he had beer.”
After the others left the vehicle, Millar moved into the back seat.
The girl told police: “That’s when Tommy was in front of me.
“I can’t remember how he got there.
“He ended up in front of me. He moved the front seat forward.
“Then he moved my legs. Then he took his trousers off.
“I was trying to tell him no. He just took his trousers off and moved my legs apart.
“Then he grabbed me. I kept telling him no.
“I couldn’t move my legs.
“I kept saying no, that I don’t want to do it, but he didn’t listen.”
Victims tell of terror
She said when one of her friends returned to the car, Millar stopped and put his trousers back on.
“I was so confused. It was quite scary.
“I was just quite scared and hoping someone was going to come back.”
The girl said that shortly afterwards, Millar’s other victim said what happened.
“(The second victim) was shouting about it, that she had just had sex with him.”
Both teenagers returned to the second victim’s home and told her mother before contacting police.
The first girl reported pain, adding: “My legs are all bruised. I’ve got scratches.”
Millar was found to have raped the first girl once and the second twice.
The second girl, also aged 15, was unable to consent due to being so intoxicated.
Both suffered injuries as a result.
Sex with girl in Dundee park
At the time, Millar was on bail in connection with a string of other allegations including raping another teenage girl at Camperdown Park in March 2019.
He had offered a defence that the activity was consensual.
The majority of jurors agreed to convict Millar of alternative charges.
They determined he engaged in sexual intercourse and sexual activity with the 15-year-old at Camperdown Park on March 24 that year.
During the trial, Millar pled guilty to engaging in sexual activity with a fourth girl, aged 15, between 2017 and 2018.
He also admitted acting in a threatening or abusive manner towards her in 2018 and towards another teenager, who was pregnant, in 2021.
No motion for bail
Solicitor advocate Iain Paterson made no motion for bail.
Because he has no criminal record, Judge Lady Drummond ordered reports ahead of sentencing at the High Court in Glasgow on September 12.
She said: “These are serious sexual offences.”
