Scottish actor Iain Robertson has been found guilty of rape and domestic abuse for a string of offenses spanning over 15 years. Glasgow’s High Court found the Band of Brothers actor, 45, guilty on five counts involving three women between 2004 and 2019. At the trial, a pre-recorded statement was played to jurors from a rape victim, who the actor met on the set of River City, providing insight into Robertson’s alleged persistence of the woman throughout their back-and-forth relationship. “Iain was convinced I was in denial about having feelings for him and in denial about what I wanted,” she said. The victim claims she was raped one night in either 2018 or 2019 at Robertson’s apartment and that he performed other unwanted sexual acts on her. Prosecutors argued that Robertson, who was married to assistant director Judith Milne from 2006 to 2009, was violent and obsessive towards other women. One victim spoke about “obsessive” calls she received from Robertson, including a time he “lunged” at her. “I thought he was going to hit me,” the fellow actor said. Robertson is currently in custody and will be sentenced on July 23.
