Scots daughter who watched abuser kick her pregnant mum in the stomach welcomes 18-year sentence for rape
15.02.2022 - 14:27 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A woman who watched a vile rapist kick her pregnant mum three times in the stomach says the abuse she witnessed as a child will stay with her forever.
The victim went on to tragically lose a baby girl, her little sister, the daughter recalls.
Billy Lynch-White was handed an 18-year extended sentence in December for sickening crimes, including the assault and raping a number of women between 2006 and 2019.
A jury found the 47-year-old guilty of nine charges following a trial at Glasgow High Court.
He was also accused of using lewd, indecent and libidinous practices and behaviour towards the daughter of one of his victims but the jury found this charge not proven.

She has spoken to the Lennox about their terrifying ordeal which she relived in court.
She said: “I was just a child. It has only been in later life I have realised how wrong it was.”
Lynch-White was found guilty violently assaulting the mum at an address in Renton, slapping her on the head, punching her, throwing a plate at her and kicking her on the stomach when she was pregnant.
The woman said the the 18-year extended sentence he was handed down - which will see him spend 14 years behind bars - is “justice”.
She added: “My little sister that died, she got justice too.”
Recalling the day that the baby was lost, she said: “I had witnessed him hitting my mum on many occasions.
“On this occasion he booted her three times in the stomach.
“About an hour or so after that she started getting quite bad pains in the stomach and she was taken to hospital.
“The hospital said she had to give birth but the baby didn’t survive.
“She was far enough along that my mum
