A man who was sentenced to unpaid work after he was convicted of raping a 13-year-old girl in Dalkeith Park has had his conviction overturned.

Sean Hogg, 22, smiled to reporters as he left court after being told he would not be facing a retrial following the quashing of his conviction.

He was convicted of raping a 13-year-old on various occasions in 2018 when he was aged 17.

He was spared jail by Judge Lord Lake at the High Court in Glasgow in April and was instead given 270 hours of unpaid work.

Mr Hogg claimed he was wrongfully convicted of the attacks in Dalkeith Park, Midlothian, and appealed.
