A former soldier raped three women repeatedly, boasted about it and ‘laughed it off’ when confronted by one of his victims.
Alan Adsley, 40, spent 14 years in the Army, where he trained as a boxer, served as a paratrooper and was sent on four tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He returned to civilian life after his military career, and was today found guilty of raping three women between 2016 and 2020 in the Scottish town of Kirkcaldy, Fife.
The High Court, in Stirling, heard how he had boasted of making a 48-year-old woman ‘bray like a donkey’ when he raped her anally in her own home.
She woke up in her bedroom and saw she was naked from the waist down with her clothes neatly folded on top of her shoes.
She said she had been ‘violated’ after being drugged. Adsley also repeatedly raped a 44-year-old mother in her own house.
At one point, he turned up at her home and attacked her while his friend, dubbed a ‘getaway driver’ by the prosecution, waited for him in a car outside.
A 32-year-old victim told how she once woke up to find Adsley taking photos of her private parts. When she confronted him about it, he ‘laughed it off’.
The mum-of-two later saw a video of him having sex with her on someone else’s phone.
On a different occasion, Adsley told her the Army had trained him on how to ‘choke somebody out’ before he swung her around by her hair and strangled her until she could not breathe.
‘I thought he was going to kill me,’ she said.
The court also heard how Adsley attacked this woman throughout a four-hour car journey from Blackpool to Fife.
While the mum was trying to keep the car on the road, Adsley poured vodka in her lap, yanked the steering wheel and pressed her foot down on the accelerator.
He also removed her seatbelt, pulled the handbrake up, turned the headlights off and even threw her housekeys out of the window.
Adsley also punched her repeatedly in the left eye, only stopping when the sun rose, and saw that he had completely blackened it. All three victims knew their attacker personally.
Adsley, previously from Blackcraigs, Kirkcaldy, pleaded guilty to two charges of assault – one of them to the danger of life. He said: ‘It did happen and I’m not proud of it.’
He said boxing in the Army had ‘kind of messed up his head’.
But Adsley denied all three charges of rape and two charges of sexual assault, insisting: ‘I’m not a rapist’.
He said he never had intercourse with the 48-year-old and maintained that sex with the other two victims was consensual.
Neveretheless, the jury took just 45 minutes to find him guilty of all charges.
Adsley is currently serving a five-year sentence for attempting to murder a doorman after he was refused entry into a nightclub.
He will be sentenced for the sexual violence crimes on September 14. The judge warned he would probably face an extended sentence.
Adsley was put on the sex offenders’ list with immediate effect.
