Aaron Strachan was sentenced indefinitely after pleading guilty to raping a 15-year-old girl whom he abducted at knifepoint from a bus stop in Edinburgh. He also admitted stabbing one man and attacking another with a claw hammer. The court ordered him to serve at least five years before parole consideration, although the judge warned that he may never be released because of the danger he poses. Strachan was also placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely and had previously escaped custody while being taken from court.
