The fiend would prey on women on dating apps and shower them with affection. Once he had gained their trust, Ford would financially exploit and control then abuse them. He has now become the first person in Scotland to be prosecuted for in Scotland for “stealthing” - when a condom is secretly removed during sex.

Ford, who claimed he was a stand-in for Brad Pitt on the 2013 film World War Z, was convicted of 19 charges including rape and attempted rape. The High Court in Edinburgh was told he carried out his vile crimes between 2008 and 2020. In the “stealthing” case, Ford met a female psychologist on Tinder and the pair later discussed having sex.

She messaged him to stipulate that he must use protection, causing him to respond: "Good idea". Before they had sex, the victim handed him a condom but Ford later confessed he had not put it on. The woman said: "I was shocked and upset. I would not have had sex with him without a condom. I asked him to leave. I felt completely violated.”.

When she later confronted him amid fears she could get pregnant, the actor branded her "paranoid" and said it was "no big deal". He callously added: "Just get the pill and if you are pregnant get rid of it.”. Ford also took secret intimate videos and photographs of partners and threatened to show their employers and family if they did not give in to his demands.
