Brown preyed on two young girls

- GRANT MCCABE

A violent sex predator who repeatedly preyed on two young girls has been jailed for 12 years.

Hugh Brown was last week handed the lengthy prison term as a judge praised both victims for speaking out about their horrific ordeals.

The 54 year-old was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow.

Brown had earlier been convicted of a total of 13 charges with the attacks occurring in Ayr, South Ayrshire, between 1993 and 2004.
