George Wells found dead in Renton home after rape conviction A convicted rapist has been found dead in his house weeks before he was due to be sentenced. George Wells was on bail after being convicted of raping one woman and indecently assaulting two others at the High Court in Glasgow last month. The 52-year-old was found dead at his home in Renton, West Dunbartonshire, on Monday. Police Scotland confirmed there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death in a property in the village's McLaren Place. A spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that the body of a 52-year-old man was found within his home at McLaren Place at around 5.55pm on Monday, September 2. At this time there would appear to be no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal. Wells was due to be sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow later this month, while he had said in evidence that he had been left in "turmoil" over the charges. Wells raped a 48-year-old woman on June 12, 2011, when he had sex with her as she slept and continued abusing her after she woke up. He was later detained for the rape, which he claimed left him "totally shocked." A jury heard how his DNA was found on the victim's underwear, but he told the trial: "I don't understand it at all. It is a complete mystery. It then emerged Wells had earlier pounced on another woman while she slept. He indecently assaulted the 46-year-old during a weekend boat trip with others on Loch Lomond in the summer of 2008 and he also attacked another 46-year-old in July 2009 following a barbecue at his home. He was found guilty of rape and two indecent assaults following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. On August 24, Wells was attacked in Renton on August 24. He was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley where he received treatment for minor injuries.
