Notorious Inverness Rapist, Kim Avis gets more jail time

Kim Vincent Avis — Extradited back to Scotland

In the latest twist to the story of Inverness street peddler and convicted rapist, Kim Avis (aka Vince Avis, Kem Avis, Ken Gordon-Avis, Kim Gordon and Cameron MacGregor) has had his 14 year sentence increased.

Dubbed by some as The Real Loch Ness Monster, 60 year old Avis was convicted in 2021 for sexually assaulting women and children while living in Inverness between 2006 and 2017.

Prison guards at HMP Edinburgh were using mobile phone detector equipment and discovered that Avis was hiding one in a bucket in his jail cell.

Avis was brought back to court from prison and was further convicted of illegally possing and using a phone while in detention.

Sheriff Joseph Stewart sentenced the rapist to a two month custodial sentence that will run consecutively to his current sentence.

Avis raped and molested victims during a decade-long campaign of sex crimes in the Scottish Highlands.

A judge told him at the High Court in Edinburgh: “You then effectively went on the run before US Marshals, unpersuaded that you were dead, tracked you down in Colorado.”

Lord Sandison added: “You were for many years a very well-known street trader in Inverness, busking and selling jewellery from your market stall.”

The judge said that as he understood it, Avis had even received “some sort of good citizen award”.

But Lord Sandison said there was another side to him and the author of a background report prepared on the sex offender had described him as “a controlling and dominant personality”.

He was found guilty of a total of 13 offences of rape, attempted rape, sexual assault and indecency.

He was also found guilty of failing to appear at the High Court in Edinburgh in March, 2019, for proceedings in the case. He was detained in the US in July that year.

Lord Sandison jailed Avis for 12 years for the sex crimes he committed and imprisoned him for a further three years for failing to appear in court.

The judge said of the latter decision: “I regard this as a very serious example of the offence.”

Avis has also been placed indefinitely on the sex offenders’ register.

Police Scotland praised his victims for the “courage, strength and dignity” they had shown throughout the investigation and court case.
