Predator filmed himself raping teen and calling her a s**t

Lord Arthurson today made the remarks after hearing of the harrowing ordeal Jordan Frankland put a teenage girl through.

The crimes - during a three-year campaign of abuse - included the 22-year-old filming himself raping the vulnerable victim.

Frankland is behind bars after he today admitted repeatedly attacking the girl on various occasions between October 1, 2020, and December 4, 2023.

Locations where they happened included Clydebank and the North of Glasgow.

Frankland, of Alexandria, first knew the victim when she was about 12.

They went on to largely meet in "secret". The girl had a troubled background.

The High Court in Glasgow heard Frankland first raped her when she was 13.

Prosecutor Eilidh Robertson said he had come into a room she was in, demanded sex and pushed her onto a bed.

There were further times when he took advantage of her in a vulnerable state.

Miss Robertson said: "On occasion he would push her, seize her by the throat, slap her on the face and buttocks. He would also pull her hair.

"Sometimes she would cry and he would tell to 'cry harder'.

"She would sometimes be left with bruises or scratching as a result."

He struck again while they were out and he pulled her into an alley.

Miss Robertson said: "She told him she was scared and he said: 'Good, you should be'."

The girl was spared this time by a passer-by walking near them.

Frankland also attacked the teenager after she had been in the city's Kelvingrove Park.

The advocate depute said: "The next thing she remembered was him apologising to her and then taking her home."

Other incidents included while they were on a train.

Police got involved after the pair had a row at a shopping centre in Clydebank.

Officers then became aware of videos of Frankland raping the victim in March 2023.

The girl was said to be in a condition where she was unable to consent to sexual activity, and her body appeared "floppy".

The court heard Frankland was heard calling her "a s**t" on the footage. He also slapped her cheek.

He did not stop and she continued to cry. Frankland told her: "Shut your f***ing mouth."

Miss Roberston said: "The girl's position is that she has no memory whatsoever of this sexual encounter."

There was a further incident after the girl agreed to meet him in late 2023 and they ended up walking in a forest in Old Kilpatrick, West Dunbartonshire.

Frankland pounced after shoving the teenager to the ground.

Miss Robertson said: "She was screaming and thought she was going to pass out, but he continued."

Frankland was subject to six different bail orders during the dates of the charge.

He will return to the dock next month.

Lord Arthurson said: "As I have heard the narrative, this is one of the worst cases of rape that I have ever been required to deal with, I will be quite blunt with you."

The judge added the case may be adjourned again next time for further reports stating he will be taking a "careful and cautious" approach in how to deal with the rapist.
