A COPs career was in ruins after he admitted sick sex attacks on five female officers.

Ross Campbell, 44, repeatedly assaulted his colleagues during boozy nights out.

Hes now on the sex offenders register after he confessed to a catalogue of vile incidents where he fondled and groped his victims.

Fiscal Alan Townsend said: The accused was a temporary sergeant. The complainers were police constables, some working under his authority.

Most of the complainers did not initially report what had happened.

Once one of them came forward others agreed to do the same after being approached by an investigating officer.

Aberdeen Sheriff Court was told about an incident in September 2019 during a night out in the city for Campbells birthday.

Mr Townsend said: The complainer felt a slap on her buttocks. The accused just laughed. He slapped her buttocks another two or three times without her consent.

The court heard Campbell groped a female officer five times in one night during a drunken session in Dundee and struck again on the train home.

A colleague warned him that word was spreading of him being handsy.

In a message Campbell, from the Cove area of Aberdeen, replied: Okay thanks bud. Was pretty wasted. Feel like sh** hearing this. I shouldnt have put myself in that position FFS.

But in February 2020 he said a victim was giving him vibes before he fondled her privates through her clothing in a bar.

He messaged her later and tried to play down what hed done. He said: Sorry if I was bugging you. Usual shambles of a police night out.

She went to cops and Campbell was arrested by fellow officers at Police Scotlands Aberdeen HQ.

He was supposed to go on trial yesterday but avoided that after he admitted the attacks. He was cleared of another three incidents.

The court was told that one of his victims claimed Campbell was a really nice guy when sober.

His solicitor Gareth Jones said: Mr Campbell offers an unreserved apology to all of the complainers in this case.

Beak Graham Buchanan deferred sentence until next month.

Superintendent Lorna Ferguson of Police Scotlands Professional Standards Department, said: "We are aware of the outcome of the case.

The matter will be referred to the Deputy Chief Constable for Professionalism, Digital and Transformation for consideration under the Police Service of Scotland (Conduct) Regulations 2014.

A rapist who filmed himself attacking one of his victims as she wept has been jailed for six years and three months.

Peter Renton, 39, preyed on two women, who cannot be named for legal reasons, between April 2019 and June 2021.

The attacks took place at addresses in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Musselburgh, East Lothian.

At the High Court in Glasgow, judge Lady Scott described Renton as "intimidating, violent and controlling".

She told him: "Your conduct showed behaviour which was designed to intimidate your victims - it included the filming of the assaults.

"I am satisfied that you present a serious risk of harm to women and I am satisfied that in order to protect the public I must impose an extended sentence."

The judge ordered that Renton must be supervised by the authorities for four years following his release from custody.

Filmed on phone

Renton had pleaded guilty to assault and rape charges in January this year.

The court heard he met his first victim in mid-2018. He carried out five attacks on her at his home in Musselburgh and at an address in Aberdeen.

In May 2020, Renton punched one of his victims at the flat in Musselburgh then ordered her into the bedroom.

He grabbed her phone and used it to film himself raping the crying victim.

She went to police in June 2020, but Renton moved on to another victim he had met on Facebook.

This woman was then abused at her home in Broomhouse, Edinburgh.

Renton was finally held by police in July 2021.

An Aber­deen mum had sex with a 15-year-old boy after invit­ing him into her home and telling him to “down” a glass of wine.

Jac­queline Milne (Jackie Milne) was 33 when she had sex with a teen­ager on three dif­fer­ent occa­sions.

Aber­deen Sher­iff Court was told she and her vic­tim had been at the same party together and he had walked her home.

She invited him in for a drink, poured a glass of wine and instruc­ted him to “down it”.

Fiscal depute Lynne MacVicar said Milne then told the boy to take off his top before kiss­ing him and tak­ing him to her bed­room.

She then per­formed a sex act on him before the pair had inter­course that even­ing and again the fol­low­ing morn­ing.

She then per­formed a sex act on him before the pair had inter­course that even­ing and again the fol­low­ing morn­ing.

“Over the fol­low­ing weeks, the accused was in con­tact with him and they had inter­course on one fur­ther occa­sion around the end of May 2019 fol­low­ing com­mu­nic­a­tions from the accused,” the fiscal added.

Milne – who is now 36 – was con­fron­ted about her beha­viour by the woman who had hos­ted the party after hear­ing rumours about the pair.

She ini­tially denied it but later admit­ted to hav­ing inter­course with the boy.

Police were con­tac­ted when the boy’s par­ents heard the same rumours and found mes­sages on his Face­book app which sug­ges­ted sexual acts had taken place.

One mes­sage showed the boy mak­ing con­tact with Milne and stat­ing he wanted to fight another man.

She later replied: “You came to my house when I was drunk, had sex with me which I have no memory of what­so­ever ... that can be classed as rape, so stop threat­en­ing me please.”

In a police inter­view, Milne told officers she thought the boy was 17.

Milne, of Well­heads Avenue, Dyce, ini­tially denied a charge of enga­ging in sexual activ­ity with someone under the age of 16, but changed her plea before a trial last month.

Defence agent Liam McAl­lister said the boy was “never in any way inter­ested” in going to the police but was “more than happy” for their rela­tions to become pub­lic.

Sher­iff Morag McLaugh­lin ordered Milne to remain under the super­vi­sion of social work­ers for two years and carry out 225 hours of unpaid work.

She was also placed on the sex offend­ers register for two years.

A BEARDED paedophile has started a secret new life as a woman after transitioning while serving time in a Scottish jail.

Christopher Noble, 32, transitioned to Christyl Knight while behind bars for keeping a stash of over 4,000 vile pictures and videos of kids as young as six months old.

The con is desperate for a fresh start but child protection expert Claude Knights said: Allowing these individuals to hide a secret past is a dangerous practice.

And an outraged mum whose son was murdered by a paedo has demanded a legal change over perv Christyl Knights new life as a female.

Campaigner Margaret-Ann Cummings, 43, insisted sex offenders should be forced to keep the identities they are jailed for.

Her son Mark, eight, was was killed by convicted sex offender Stuart Leggate, 42, in 2004.

She said: Authorities shouldnt let paedophiles rewrite history. They should have to keep their identities intact while theyre still on the register.

"Where does this end? Will sex offenders soon be getting treatment on the NHS to change the way they look?

She added: Its not unusual for sex offenders to want a new identity but this is the most disturbing case Ive heard of.

"When someone, so soon after getting out of jail, is trying to change not just their name but their sex and appearance too, it sounds like theyre trying to hide rather than reform.

Echoing her calls, child protection expert Claude Knights said: Anyone whos fuelled the vile trade in indecent images of children and therefore contributed to their sexual abuse should not be allowed to change their name.

The Scottish Sun traced Knight to a flat in Aberdeen where she moaned her life had been a misery in tough Grampian nick, Peterhead.

And she insisted her transition is not a ploy to hide her vile past. She said: I cant help being transgender. Ive realised since I was about 13.

"To start the process in jail was...you wouldnt believe the s*** I had to put up with.

I was in a male hall behind my door 24/7 for four months.

Do you honestly think someone would want to change sex just to hide a conviction? Its a long, hard process.

Its understood she appears on the sex offender list as Christyl.

She lives alone and claims she doesnt talk to anyone under strict rules of her early release.

And she revealed the licence which forces her to sign in at a cop shop ends this week.

She was nicked in the citys Torry in July 2015 after a tip-off from the National Online Child Abuse Agency.

Cops found 4,224 indecent photos and 11 explicit videos of kids under 13 on a laptop, mobile and USB in the home.

A computer showed a live web chat discussing the sharing of children.

The then-bearded pervert admitted downloading and distributing 2,000 vile pics and was caged for 21 months in 2016.

Christyl, who was recently made bankrupt over nearly 19,000 of debt, added: Ive lost everything. I regret it. Im moving on with my life.

James Morton, of the Scottish Transgender Alliance, said: Our understanding is that transitioning does not erase your past if youre a sex offender.

"You have to give your new name to police. Trans people usually encounter greater suspicion. I dont think it helps people blend in.

The Scottish Prison Service does not comment on individual prisoners but said cons are dealt with according to their gender when theyre jailed.
