Craig Strachan was accused of climbing into his victim’s bed and raping her at a basement flat in Edinburgh in 2013, when he was 21.

The now 33-year-old, who used the stage name ‘Craig Saint’, was today convicted by a jury at the High Court in Livingston and sentenced to six years’ imprisonment.

Despite pleading not guilty to the crime in July, Strachan previously admitted he ‘totally f***** up and raped a girl’ when he was on drugs in a resurfaced Youtube video posted in 2022.

He went on to tell the ‘I’mpossible Conversation’ YouTube channel during an interview: ‘When I had my spiritual awakening last year it was so so scary because I was reminded of something that happened when I was 21, when I was really high and totally f****d up, I raped a girl.

‘I had sex with her when she was sleeping. It lasted about 10 seconds. She was in my bed and as soon as it happened, I instantly knew, “s***, I should not have done that”.’

The trial heard Strachan was 21 when he climbed into his victim’s bed uninvited and touched her while she slept, prosecutors said. When she woke, Strachan raped her.

He claimed he thought she had in fact been awake and consenting. Jurors took less than an hour to find him guilty.

He was convicted of entering a bed uninvited with the woman, touching her on the body, and raping her both while she was asleep and incapable of giving or withholding consent and after she awoke.

The verdict was unanimous.

Imposing the six-year sentence at the High Court in Stirling, Judge Fiona Tait told Strachan, who appeared by video link from Saughton Prison, Edinburgh, that the offence was one of ‘considerable gravity’, resulting in a substantial impact on his victim.

She added: ‘She should be commended for her courage in giving evidence – especially in the difficult circumstances of the publicity which your online disclosure attracted.’

South African social media influencer Beandri Booysen, renowned for her inspiring posts on TikTok, has sadly departed on Wednesday, December 18, at the tender age of 19.

Her family shared the heartbreaking news on social media, highlighting Beandri’s courageous battle with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that accelerates aging in children.

In a poignant tribute, Beandri’s loved ones described her as a vibrant and infectious young woman who “radiated hope and joy” despite her health challenges. They praised her unique spirit, which inspired countless individuals worldwide.

As news of her passing spread, an outpouring of condolences flooded TikTok. According to medical experts, Progeria causes rapid aging, with symptoms emerging within the first two years of life. The average life expectancy for children with Progeria is approximately 15 years, although some may live longer or shorter lives.

While there is currently no cure for Progeria, ongoing research and novel treatments offer promise for managing symptoms and complications. Beandri’s family has requested privacy during this difficult time and will share details about a memorial service in due course.
