A DISGRACED former Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army who raped two women he met on a dating site has been jailed for eight years.

Philip Donegan from Knightswood, Glasgow, who was a formerly a tax lecturer at Strathclyde University and a tax adviser with law firm Tods Murray, met his victims on match.com.

The High Court in Glasgow heard that Donegan raped a 33-year-old in her Paisley home in October, 2016 and a 30-year-old woman at his home in Ashby Crescent, Glasgow, on July 28, 2017.

Donegan, 50, was also found guilty of a stalking campaign against the 33-year-old following the rape by bombarding her with unwanted texts, phone calls and threatening to send an indecent photograph of her to her boss.

Prosecutor Sheena Fraser said: “Mr Donegan is a man who does not listen when he is told no.”

Donegan was jailed for eight years and will be supervised in the community for a further four years after his release.

Passing sentence, judge Norman Ritchie QC said Donegan presents a "high risk of further sexual offending" and he went online “to get woman for sex".

The 30-year-old woman said in evidence that she went to the police after becoming distressed watching the attempted rape scene in Braveheart on DVD.

This was the second time Donegan appeared at the High Court accused of rape.

In June 2016 at the High Court in Paisley, he was cleared of raping a mother-of-three he met on a dating site.
