Christopher Malcolm convicted of serial rape and abuse after family and friends intervened to save his fiancée Amy
Christopher Malcolm was recently sentenced to 16 years for a series of crimes against four women, including his former fiancée, Amy. Amy reported being subjected to physical and psychological abuse by Malcolm, who exerted significant control over her life, often demanding she delete social media and limiting her ability to communicate with her family.

Amy described Malcolm as being in "attack mode" during several incidents, where he would frequently strangle her and threaten more violence. He left her with a-permanent injury to her wrist. Despite Amy's initial reluctance to report him, her family and friends provided evidence to Police Scotland, which helped build a strong case for his arrest in September 2024. Police Scotland noted that evidence from loved ones is crucial in cases where survivors are reluctant to make reports. Malcolm has since lodged an appeal against his 16-year sentence. Amy now lives independently and is preparing to start a family.
