Kenny Ralph Dalgleish was found guilty of 11 charges on 5 June 2026 after being prosecuted by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.
A trial at the High Court in Dundee heard that the 38-year-old became controlling and verbally abusive towards both women soon after meeting them.
His behaviour escalated to include verbal, physical and serious sexual abuse.
The violence included non-fatal strangulation, with Dalgleish grabbing both women by the neck and restricting their breathing.
Prosecutors also led evidence that the serviceman used coercive control against one of the women.
This included controlling finances and what food she was allowed to eat, preventing her from sleeping by hitting and shaking her, and restricting how long she was allowed to leave the house.
He isolated her from friends and family, refused to allow her to have male companions and made derogatory and abusive remarks towards her.
Dalgleish was also convicted of using weapons during the abuse, including holding a knife against her neck and back and striking her with a wooden spoon.
The offending took place between 2006 and 2023 at various locations across Scotland, including Dundee, St Andrews, Elgin, Glasgow and Lossiemouth.
On 10 July 2026, at the High Court in Glasgow, Dalgleish was given a 14-year extended sentence with 11 years in custody.
He has been made subject to the sex offenders register indefinitely with lifelong non-harassment orders also granted.
Faye Cook, Procurator Fiscal for High Court Sexual Offences, said:
“Kenny Dalgleish, who was a serving member of the armed forces, carried out a sustained campaign of abuse against two women, using control, intimidation and violence over many years.
“His offending included non-fatal strangulation, a particularly dangerous form of abuse which is recognised as a key indicator of escalating violence and risk.
“What these women experienced was deeply traumatic, and the evidence presented in court showed a clear pattern of domestic abuse and serious sexual offending which has had a lasting impact.
“I want to recognise the courage shown by both women in coming forward and giving evidence. Speaking out is never easy, and their strength has been crucial in securing these convictions.
“Prosecutors are committed to holding those responsible for violence against women to account and to working to protect others from harm.”
