Starrs was found guilty of raping the teenager following a separate trial at the High Court in Lanark in July.
"I am required to take into account your age and difficult upbringing. However, the crimes remain serious and grave, and I will impose an extended sentence." He said that he would have ordered 11 years to be served in custody but reduced this to 10 and a half years behind bars to take into account the time that Starrs has spent on remand.
Starrs was also found guilty of a breach of bail conditions, and of attempting to pervert the course of justice.Giving a plea in mitigation, Michael Meehan KC, representing Starrs, highlighted that as he is under 25 the sentence must take into account sentencing guidelines which reflect that a younger person will have a lower level of maturity than an older person.
