DJ Sentenced to Six Years After YouTube Rape Confession

Scottish DJ Craig Strachan confessed to a 2013 rape in a YouTube video, leading to his conviction and imprisonment.

Craig Strachan, a Scottish DJ, was convicted of raping a woman in Edinburgh in 2013 while she was asleep and unable to consent.
Despite confessing to the crime in a 2022 YouTube interview, Strachan pleaded not guilty, forcing the victim to testify in court.
Strachan's confession came after a claimed 'spiritual awakening,' during which he stated he was reminded of his actions.
He was sentenced to six years in prison and placed on the sex offenders' register for life, with a 20-year non-harassment order against contacting the victim.
The case drew significant attention due to Strachan's public confession and his subsequent attempts to promote a 'forgiveness' movement online.
