A pastor is behind bars for the serial abuse of a woman and several children.
Reverend James Haram put his traumatised victims through ordeals branded ‘truly awful’ by a judge.
This included the 51-year-old raping the woman. The youngsters who were preyed upon were often struck with a wooden spoon or a rod.
Haram - who had been with the Free Church of Scotland in Glasgow - was found guilty of a total of 19 charges of physical and sexual abuse.
The crimes spanned between 1997 and 2020 at addresses in the city as well as Dumbarton, Dunbartonshire and in Ayrshire.
