Scotland's Crown prosecutors are being asked to review Alexander Pacteau's 2013 acquittal for sexual assault in light of the revelations in his conviction for the brutal murder of Karen Buckley.
In each case Pacteau approached a young woman walking home alone late at night and offered to help them.
In Karen's case he offered her a lift home in his Ford Focus car at 1am on April 12 last. In the case of the young Glasgow woman he offered to help her find a taxi. Both women were 24 years old.
The young Glasgow woman said she was devastated at the not guilty verdict in March 2013, but felt that the life sentence Pacteau received last week for Karen's murder offered her some form of justice.
The young woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, felt Pacteau posed such a threat that she wrote to Scottish authorities about him in 2013 after the not guilty verdict.
One leading psychologist and anti-violence campaigner, Dr Mairead Tagg, said she felt there was a case for a retrial given the revelations.
Dr Tagg said that, in her opinion, Pacteau was "a very dangerous man".
"It seems this poor woman has not received justice. If the evidence is there, he should be retried," she said.
