Description
Lee Spence, a 25-year-old Fife man currently serving an eight-and-a-half-year sentence for attempting to murder his father in a premeditated blade attack at HMP Perth, has been placed on the sex offenders register due to a separate incident involving a 16-year-old girl in Glenrothes. The assault on the teenager occurred before his imprisonment, where Spence followed her and made inappropriate, lewd comments, causing her significant distress. This behavior was classified as sexual in nature, leading to charges and highlighting a pattern of violent and inappropriate conduct that echoes his family's troubled history, including his father's own convictions for child abuse.
In court, the judge underscored the seriousness of Spence's actions toward the girl, noting the profound impact on the young victim and the need for public protection. As a result of this conviction, Spence will be monitored under the sex offenders register upon release, joining his father on the list. The case draws attention to Spence's vengeful tendencies and ongoing risks, with authorities emphasizing measures to prevent future incidents.
