Lord Turnull also placed Murray on the sex offenders register and told him that the sentence would have been nine years if he had not pleaded guilty. <\/p>\n
At a hearing last month, Murray, of Larkhall in Lanarkshire, pleaded guilty to rape and sexual assault charges at a care home between December 2010 and April 2012. The Lanarkshire home cannot be named for legal reasons. <\/p>\n
The court previously heard that a female nightshift colleague went looking for Murray and found him standing at the bottom of the bed belonging to his victim, who was naked from the waist down. <\/p>\n
An agitated Murray told his shocked colleague that his trousers had fallen down because the zip on his fly had broken but she telephoned the homes manager, who contacted the police. <\/p>\n
While waiting for the officers to arrive, he stabbed himself in the neck with a pair of scissors and told his colleagues: \"I'm so ashamed, people will think I'm a pervert.\" <\/p>\n
Murray was detained overnight in hospital and had three stitches put in the wound. The next day he was interviewed at Hamilton police station and admitted the rape. <\/p>\n
The court heard that the woman's DNA was found on Murray's underpants. He also admitted to officers sexually abusing his other two victims. <\/p>\n
