A care home manager who sexually abused young female staff before fleeing to India from where he was later extradited has been jailed for nearly eight years.

Naijil Paul, 47, was due to stand trial in 2019 accused of sex offences, but instead he got a flight to India where he lived for six years.

He was later extradited back to the UK and pleaded guilty to a charge of rape and two charges of sexual assault, at the High Court in Glasgow in October.

He was given an extended sentence comprising seven years and nine months in jail followed by two years of supervision upon release when the case was called at the court on Monday.

Paul entered guilty pleas, but the court heard that he continued to blame his victims, who were significantly younger than him at the time of the offences, in 2018.
