A violent sex attacker has been found guilty of the serial abuse of two young women.

Caileon Ward put his victims through the ordeals during a four-year campaign of abuse.

The crimes occurred between 2019 and 2023 at different locations in Crieff, Perthshire.

The 26-year-old repeatedly preyed upon the first woman while she was asleep and raped her again despite her saying no.

As she pleaded with him, he told her: “At this point, I really do not f***ing care.”

Ward stated this was what happened to “bad girls”.

Prosecutor Greg Farrell told the High Court in Glasgow that she was “visibly upset and crying”. She was also left in great pain.

During another incident, Ward tormented the woman, brandished a knife and told her to strip, claiming she was “a s***”.

The second victim suffered a similar ordeal and was left feeling “dehumanised”.

On New Year’s Day 2023, Ward drove a car with the second woman in it while he was high on drink and drugs.

At one stage, he threatened to go over a bridge with both of them in the car.

She tried to escape, but the door was shut. The court heard he also later ran a knife up and down her legs.

Ward pled guilty to six charges, including the repeated rape of both victims.

Lord Scott deferred sentencing until next month.

He told Ward: “Be under no illusion, you will be going to prison for a very long time.”
