Police ScotlandA rapist who disappeared after being found guilty of sex attacks in Glasgow has been found following an eight-week police search.
David McCue was convicted in absence at the High Court in Glasgow of sexual offences on March 17.
The charges included repeated attacks on a woman in Glasgow’s Townhead and Barlanark, including while she was asleep, and of sexually assaulting a girl spanning eight years between 2010 and 2018.
McCue, of Glasgow’s Springboig, had initially been in the dock on March 10, but disappeared as the trial entered its latter stages.
He was not present when jurors returned guilty verdicts to four charges on Tuesday, March 14.
A warrant was subsequently issued for his arrest.
After failing to appear for sentencing on March 31, police issued an urgent appeal urging the public “not to approach” the 40-year-old.
Officers confirmed that McCue has now been arrested on an outstanding warrant.
He is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday.
