If my truth saves one other woman ..this ordeal will have been worth it

Monster put former partners through years of hell

- VIC RODRICK

A JUDGE praised the bravery of two women who snared a vile rapist after he forced them to sign contracts guaranteeing him "sex on demand".

James Rees ordered the victims of his violent and controlling domestic abuse to sign an agreement which included a list of sick sexual demands "like a contract in black and white".

Rees, 37, claimed he was blind to the harm his violent, controlling and sexually abusive behaviour was causing to his former partners.

But he was jailed for nine years yesterday at the High Court in Edinburgh plus three years on licence following his release from prison.

Passing sentence, judge Lord Mulholland praised the women's courage throughout the "harrowing" process of giving evidence.
