A university student who blindfolded and raped a schoolgirl after sending a text stating no 'means yes' has been jailed for two years.
Brendan Orr pounced on the 16-year-old in his room at Heriot-Watt University's Riccarton campus in Edinburgh.
Orr - described as a 'straight A student' - had earlier tied up and blindfolded the girl.
The 22-year-old was jailed at the High Court in Glasgow after earlier being found guilty of rape.
The November 2013 attack was said to be revenge for the girl stealing 'legal high' drugs from him.
There had previously been consensual sexual activity between the pair.
Jurors heard how he had once sent her a message asking about 'sober sex'.
When she refused, he then said: 'rape'.
The girl - who initially took it as a joke - said no.
But, Orr sent another message stating: 'That means yes.'
On the night of the rape, the victim said she was 'really nervous' when she turned up at his halls of residence.

He had said he hated her for the theft - but he invited her over to make it up with 'money and stuff'.
Orr, of Aberfeldy, Perthshire, tied the girl to his bed and blindfolded her with a snood before attacking her.
He denied of carrying out the sex attack during a trial in Edinburgh.
Tony Graham, defending, said Orr was from an 'utterly respectable' background and had been a 'straight A student doing well at university'.

He is thought to have been studying engineering.
Lady Scott said a jail-term had to be imposed.
The judge added Orr's 'attitude to sexual matters' may have been affected by 'pornographic material' that he accessed.
Orr was also placed on the sex offenders list for 10 years.
