‘Brad Pitt stand-in’ jailed for duping partner into sex without condom Edinburgh court jails Luke Ford, who says he worked on World War Z, for 16 years for abuse against multiple women.
Luke Ford, 35, was sentenced to 16 years in custody for a sustained campaign of abuse against multiple women, including Scotland’s first prosecution for “stealthing” – having unprotected intercourse when a partner consented to sex only if a condom was used – which is rape.
Ford was given a 21-year extended sentence with 16 years in custody at the high court in Edinburgh on Wednesday after he was found guilty of 19 charges involving violence, sexual assault, threats and abuse against women, including seven rape charges.
In earlier proceedings, the court heard that Ford had subjected his nine victims to physical, mental and sexual abuse over a 12-year period, targeting women on dating apps, showering them with affection, then financially exploiting, controlling and abusing them.
The court heard that Ford, from Stirling, was a jobbing actor and model, and featured as a stand-in for Brad Pitt on the film World War Z, shot in Glasgow in 2013.
