Former Care Worker Jailed for Sexually Assaulting Vulnerable Women
Prosecutors said Wilson used his care role to target vulnerable women, and one victim died before the case reached court.
- On Tuesday, Robert Wilson was sentenced to eight years in prison at the High Court in Edinburgh after being found guilty of sexually assaulting two vulnerable women.
- Wilson abused Yvonne Carnie at The Abbey Retirement Home in North Berwick, East Lothian, between 2022 and 2023, while also raping a 38-year-old woman in Tranent, East Lothian, in 2013.
- Faye Cook, Procurator Fiscal for High Court Sexual Offences, described Wilson as a "dangerous man who carried out a pattern of manipulative and sexually abusive behaviour towards vulnerable women."
- Lady Ross sentenced Wilson to eight years in prison with three years of supervision, telling him his abuse of the resident was "their worst nightmare."
- The family of Carnie, who died in 2025 before trial, stated Wilson showed "calculated, predatory disregard" for their mother, worsened by his lack of remorse and sickening denial.
