Dundee ice hockey player jailed for rape of teen girl in his car

Dundee ice hockey player jailed for rape of teen girl in his car

The 19-year-old, from Dyce in Aberdeen, targeted his victim when she was heavily intoxicated and incapable of giving consent.

He had initially met her through friends and teammates, and she was under the age of 16 when he attacked her.

The accused was 17 at the time and he had attended the house where the girl was staying but refused entry on the night of the incident.

It happened on the night of August 4, 2022 and the victim had been put to bed due to her level of intoxication. Donaldson later collected her from the property and drove to The Shore, Kingoodie, Invergowrie, where he raped her.

He then drove her back to her friend’s house and when she woke up the next day she began having flashbacks and reported the matter to the police.

As well as his jail sentence and being added to the sex offenders register, Donaldson is not allowed to contact his victim for 15 years.

Scotland’s Procurator Fiscal for High Court Sexual Offending, Katrina Parkes said: “Darren Donaldson took advantage of a young girl who was incapable of giving or withholding consent.  

“He will now face the consequences of his actions following this prosecution and conviction. 

“We would encourage anyone affected by similar offending to come forward.  

“You will be listened to and supported as we seek to secure justice using all the tools at our disposal.” 

Police Scotland Detective Constable Mark Guild said: “My thoughts are with the victim who has shown immense strength in coming forward and assisting our investigation.  

“I hope the sentence imposed on Donaldson brings her some form of comfort. We remain committed to supporting victims of sexual crimes and thoroughly investigating those responsible by bringing them to justice.  

“I would urge people to come forward and report it to police. They can be assured of being fully supported by officers and partner agencies.”
