A sex attacker who raped a woman on their first date has been jailed for nine years.
Matthew Fielding was today sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow.
The 49-year-old was earlier convicted of 12 charges of the sexual and physical abuse of two women.
Callous Fielding taunted the brave victims who testified against him as he was led to the cells to start his sentence.
He smirked and rubbed below his eyes as if pretending to cry.
The crimes occurred between 2007 and 2021 mainly in Paisley, Renfrewshire.
He raped one of the women after it appeared they had gone their first date together.
Other abuse included jealous Fielding accusing her of cheating, him also calling her horrible names as well as depriving this traumatised victim of food and drink.
Fielding, of Paisley, mocked her by filming her on his mobile phone when she was upset.
The other victim suffered a similar ordeal at his hands.
She was violently raped with the thug hitting her with belt, choking her and smothering her face with a pillow.
Fielding also preyed on her when she was asleep.
Other physical attacks included this woman being bitten, punched and shaken.
He would record her as well in a state of distress and play it back to torment her.
Fielding also used to sleep with a sword next to him.

Sentencing, Judge Sheena Fraser told him: "You have been convicted of a catalogue of charges involving rapes, sexual assaults and other abusive behaviour.
"These were committed over a sustained period of 14 years involving appalling, often manipulative behaviour which must have been terrifying.
"This is likely to have caused very significant levels of psychological harm."
Fielding will be supervised for a further three years on his release.
He was put on the sex offenders list indefinitely. He was also banned for life from approaching or contacting the women.
