A man who abducted a primary school girl while dressed as a woman and then sexually assaulted her in his Borders home has been jailed for 20 years.
Andrew Miller, who is also known as Amy George, offered to give the girl a lift home in February this year.
But Miller, 53, instead drove her to his own house, took her into a bedroom and refused to let her leave.
He then subjected her to a series of sexual assaults over the course of the next 27 hours.
The High Court in Edinburgh also heard Miller will be supervised for eight years in addition to his custodial sentence.
Passing sentence, judge Lord Arthurson said Miller’s crime was nauseating in its level of its depravity and criminal deviancy.
The court was previously told the girl, who did not know Miller, was only able to escape from the bedroom after he fell asleep on the second night of her ordeal.
She found his landline, dialled 999 and the police arrived within minutes to rescue her.
Miller – a father-of-three, who lived alone – was still sleeping when he was arrested.
