A man who raped a woman in an Aberdeenshire town while she was ill has been jailed.
Damian Collier, 29, ignored the woman s pleas to stop in a house in Fraserburgh in January this year.
The victim - who was suffering from a flu-like virus - shouted: Do you realise what you have just done?
At the High Court in Edinburgh, Collier admitted rape and was jailed for 32 months, reduced from four years given his guilty plea.
Judge Norman McFadyen said Collier had committed a serious and deeply unpleasant rape against a woman who was unwell at the time.
