A PORT man convicted of raping two women he was friends with has been jailed for six years.

David McCready, 21, raped one woman in his home in 2012 and the other on the waterfront in Greenock in 2014.

He was accused of raping another woman at his flat in 2014, but that charge was found not proven.

Judge Kenneth McIver ordered McCready to be monitored for a year after his release and placed on the Sex Offenders Register.

At the High Court in Glasgow, the judge told McCready: "You raped two young women, both of them friends of yours before the offences.

"You used that to take sexual advantage. In the case of your second victim you had already been accused of the rape by two young women by that point.

"Friendship transformed into sexual violence. You simply decided sex was going to take place and carried that out with no regard to the feelings or wishes of your two victims."

The judge added: "You have expressed no remorse for your actions and say you are the victim of false allegations by your victims.'

McCready was convicted of raping his first victim in October 2012 and the second on November 16 in 2014.
