Bride-to-be narrowly escapes marriage to violent serial rapist after family and police intervention

A Scottish woman who remains anonymous says she was weeks from marrying Christopher Malcolm, a violent serial rapist; her family and friends used Clare's Law to alert Police Scotland, leading to his arrest and, after a 56-witness trial, a conviction for crimes against four women in Lothian and Moray dating back to 2008 and a 16-year sentence (now appealed). She credits the intervention with saving her life and says she will rebuild with support, while cautioning that early-release policies could endanger others."
