Five of the women attended the hearing, including three who sat quietly in the court as the sentence was handed down.
Speaking after the conviction, one victim said: “Seeing Ross accountable is an important moment for me, and I hope it encourages others who have experienced something similar to feel able to speak up and seek support.”
Another added: “Speaking out about sexual violence is not easy. It can feel overwhelming, frightening, and at times isolating.
“However, I hope that by coming forward, I have shown that it is possible to be heard and that what happened matters.
“I would encourage anyone who has experienced sexual violence to know that they are not alone, and that support is available.”
