Extradited Care-Home Manager Gets Seven Years and Nine Months for Rape and Assaults

A Glasgow judge cited persistent victim-blaming as grounds for post-release supervision.

Overview

  • Naijil Paul, 47, was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow after pleading guilty in October to rape and two sexual assaults.
  • The offences were described as premeditated, involved significantly younger staff, and included a five-month abuse period in 2018 for one victim.
  • The extended sentence includes two years of supervision after release, lifetime placement on the sex offenders register, and non-harassment orders.
  • Paul failed to appear for a 2019 trial, fled to India, was arrested there in February 2025, and was extradited from Delhi to Scotland.
  • Prosecutors said he coerced a victim by threatening her job and housing, with the judge noting he continued to minimise his actions and blame victims.
