A RAPIST'S bid to switch to an all-female nick has been snubbed by prison bosses.

The Scottish Sun can reveal that depraved Andrew McWilliam, 63, will not be moving to Cornton Vale in Stirling from tough HMP Glenochil after demanding the transfer.

3 Vile rapist Andrew McWilliam has requested a move to a women's nick

The Scottish beast, who wears a bra and insists on being called Jacqui, was caged twice for horror sex assaults including raping a pregnant woman and sexually torturing another victim for hours.

Tory justice spokesman Liam Kerr said: “This evil rapist should not be indulged.

“It’s quite right that he was denied a transfer.

"Such a move would have seriously jeopardised the safety of female prisoners at Cornton Vale.”

Fellow cons have slammed the bid as a "vile stunt" and said the fiend, labelled “wholly dangerous” by a judge, is despised at Glenochil.

A source said: “The whole stunt shows how vile and depraved he really is.

“McWilliam makes other prisoners call him ‘Jacqui’ and walks about wearing women’s clothes — usually leggings and a women’s top.

“He also wears a bra that he pads out and wears women’s knickers too.

“The other prisoners hate him. They think he is vile.”

McWilliam, who raped a pregnant victim and sexually tortured another, is understood to want to “transition” into a woman and told jail bosses.

It is understood to be in the “very early stages”.

The source added: “It beggars belief that a monster who raped and sexually abused women thinks he can throw on a bra, get folk to call him ‘Jacqui’ and move to a women’s jail.

“He seems to think that by getting into Cornton Vale, he will be released early. But there is no chance someone with his history will get anywhere near women. He’s delusional.”

The decision to refuse the fiend’s demand has been hailed by politicians.

McWilliam got 12 years at the High Court in Aberdeen for attacking a four months pregnant mum-to-be in 1989.

The balaclava-wearing monster wielded a sawn-off shotgun before shaving the terrified victim’s head and raping her in Fettercairn, Aberdeenshire.

The sicko was released in 1997 but months later bundled a woman, 29, into her car at knifepoint and tied her up.

She was driven around Tayside and Grampian for seven hours and subjected to sickening sex acts.

She escaped after loosening stockings round her hands and scarpering in Brechin.

During the ordeal the victim sobbed and asked why she had been targeted.

She was said to have been told: “If it wasn’t you it would have been somebody else.”

McWilliam was caged for at least 15 years and called a “wholly dangerous man”.

We told, above, how a Glenochil warden allegedly allowed a female con to send McWilliam knickers in the post in 2014.

The Scottish Prison Service said tonight: “We do not comment on individual prisoners.”
