## Resource

A 65-year-old man, Douglas Dunbar, has been jailed for three years and four months after pleading guilty to supplying drugs to vulnerable women and violently assaulting another—crimes that led to the death of one victim and sparked a major investigation. Police responded to a fatal drug overdose in Edinburgh in February 2024, uncovering Dunbar’s pattern of exploitation, coercion, and attempted cover-ups—including destroying his phone after the death. Authorities praised the courage of victims who came forward, and emphasized their ongoing mission to protect women from abuse, assuring anyone affected that help is available and they are not alone.
