A Scottish millionaire was convicted of indecent communication after secretly recording a female employee.
Kevin Booth, 65岁的苏格兰百万富翁和赛马小提琴手, 在与2022年在高地家中工作的一位妇女秘密录制谈话后, 被判定犯有猥亵交流罪。
Kevin Booth, a 65-year-old Scottish millionaire and horse racing tipster, has been found guilty of indecent communication after secretly recorded conversations with a woman who worked at his Highland home in 2022.
法庭听说他发表了不适当的言论,包括为性行为提供100英镑,并询问她是否知道如何抽打。
The court heard he made inappropriate remarks, including offering £100 for a sexual act and asking if she knew how to spank.
该妇女受雇从事家务和按摩工作,在丈夫出于恐惧和焦虑提出警告后,开始录制。
The woman, hired for housekeeping and massage duties, began recording after her husband advised it due to fear and anxiety.
Booth否认指控,声称讨论是双方同意和开玩笑的,但警长认为他的证词不可信,理由是权力不平衡和违反信任。
Booth denied the charges, claiming the discussions were consensual and joking, but the sheriff found his testimony not credible, citing a power imbalance and breach of trust.
他已被列入性犯罪者登记册,并推迟判刑。
He has been placed on the sex offenders register, with sentencing deferred.
在此之前,2025年又发生一起民事案件,发现Booth贩运和剥削了妇女,导致五年旅行禁令。
This follows a separate 2025 civil case in which Booth was found to have trafficked and exploited women, resulting in a five-year travel ban.
