Rapist who carried out sex attack on woman in Dumfries jailed for five years

Andon Diamanti struggled with the victim before subjecting her to the traumatic sexual assault at an address in Dumfries. A judge at the High Court in Edinburgh pointed out that although Diamanti had some previous contact with the 60-year-old woman it was the first occasion he met her in person.
