A chef who raped two women in separate sex attacks at Scottish hotels was jailed for six years yesterday.
George Webster assaulted his first victim in Perthshire before attacking another woman in an up-market Nairn hotel almost a year later.
A judge told Webster, 28, at the High Court in Edinburgh: “You treated them appallingly badly and that must be dealt with appropriately.”
Lord Edward Bowen QC told Webster he would be placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely.
The judge said he took into account that Webster was of previous good character.
Webster, who has been in prison since May last year, was convicted of the sex crimes at an earlier trial.
He raped his first victim at staff quarters at Scotlands Hotel, in Bonnethill Road, Pitlochry, on June 7, 2013.
He took off her lower clothing while she was incapable of giving or withholding her consent and had sex with her.
Webster ignored the 23-year-old when she woke and told him to leave and raped her again when she was unconscious and asleep.
The hotel worker carried out the second rape in a room at the GolfView Hotel, in Seabank Road, Nairn, on May 4 last year after he was released on bail by a sheriff in Perth the previous year.
He locked the door and detained his second young victim and demanded she remove her clothes.
He forced the 22-year-old to take off clothing then raped her.
Defence counsel Drew McKenzie said Webster had been brought up in Zimbabwe before moving to the UK with his parents as a teenager.
Webster had worked as a kitchen porter but went on to become a chef.
He said he had been working at Scotlands Hotel but was approached by a former colleague to go to Nairn.
The defence counsel said Webster was hard-working and struck him as an intelligent man.
