The 34-year-old was jailed for almost six years after being found guilty of attacks in Perth, Angus, and Fife.
A Perth man who raped a woman after tightening a noose around her neck until she blacked out has been jailed for almost six years.Todd, 34, was found guilty of seven charges of rape following a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh.Judge Lady Haldane sentenced him to nine-and-a-half years' imprisonment, but said that after taking into account lengthy periods spent on remand, he would serve five years and 10 months.
The judge said: "Your behaviour in respect of each of these women demonstrated a clear pattern of controlling behaviour."One woman told jurors she had visited a barn in Fife with Todd and that there was a rope hanging from a beam."All I remember is waking up with the rope round my neck and my hands were tied.
"I had my top and my bra on but my pants and trousers were down to my ankles. I was standing with my hands above my head and the noose around my neck."The 24-year-old said she felt sore and Todd was standing in front of her pulling up his trousers.Mr Lamb said: "He reports having post traumatic stress disorder and severe depression.The court heard that Todd had been assessed as posing a high risk of committing further similar offences.
After the sentencing, Det Sgt Lauren O'Neil, of Fife division's rape investigation unit said: "Todd is a predatory and dangerous man who has committed a variety of serious crimes against a number of different women over a protracted period of time. "It is thanks to the courage of the women who came forward that he has been now been found guilty of his crimes and the cruelty of his behaviour has been exposed."
