Derek McNee, 43, manipulated his victim by asking whether it would 'arouse' her if he 'did things' while she slept, then suggested filming the acts. Police later found four of the videos on his own phone. Sentencing him at the High Court in Glasgow, Judge David Young KC said: 'There can be no free agreement when someone is incapable to give consent.'

Sex offender Derek McNee repeatedly attacked the woman at a house in Milngavie, pleading guilty on 2 September 2026.

'Despicable individual': DI Mairi MacDonald praised the victims' courage, calling them instrumental in bringing Derek McNee to justice.

Non-harassment orders protect both women, while Police Scotland urges other victims to come forward, promising specially trained officers.
