Man raped girl on her 14th birthday after giving her cocaine

A man who raped a girl on her 14th birthday had earlier given the child cocaine, a court has heard.

Fraser Stables, 42, preyed on the youngster, who cannot be named for legal reasons, at a house in Edinburgh on August 2, 2025.

A high court judge heard on Wednesday how the delivery driver had given the child a quantity of the class A narcotic.

Lord Cubie was told the child then felt “unusual” after taking the drug.

The court heard that the girl went into a bedroom in a bid to recover, but Stables followed her in and forced her to have sex with him whilst she was intoxicated and incapable of providing consent.

The story emerged after Stables, of Leith, Edinburgh, pleaded guilty at the High Court in the Scottish capital to a charge of providing cocaine to the girl before raping her.

Mr Parfery told the court how Stables supplied his victim with the drug a short time before the incident.

He added: “The complainer described feeling unusual after taking cocaine, and after a period of time, went into a bedroom.

“The accused followed her into the bedroom and then proceeded to have sexual intercourse with her.”

The court heard that on December 9, 2025, Stables went to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary having overdosed on paracetamol.

Mr Parfery said that Stables made an incriminating statement to a staff member at the medical facility.

He added: “Whilst being assessed by a psychiatric liaison nurse, the accused proceeded to tell them of how he had given the child cocaine and he had sex with her.

“Police were called soon afterwards.”

The court heard that Stables has previous convictions for road traffic offences.

Defence advocate Jonathan Crowe told Lord Cubie that he’d have to obtain a report detailing Stables’s background.

Mr Crowe said he’d give his mitigation at a future hearing.

Lord Cubie then remanded Stables in custody and told him he’d be given a prison sentence for the offence.

He added: “The consequences for the complainer will be devastating and will be lifelong and long-lasting for her.

“You effectively brought her childhood to an end.

“A substantial sentence of imprisonment will follow. You must understand that the sentencing principles of punishment and deterrence, and marking society’s abhorrence to this type of offending, outweigh the principle of rehabilitation.

“You will be remanded in custody.”

Stables will appear for sentencing at the High Court in Glasgow on November 20, 2026.
