A woman has been placed on the sex offenders register and been ordered to attend counselling after licking an MSP’s neck.
Elspeth Wood approached a member of the Scottish Parliament while they were out campaigning for the general election on May 27, 2024.
She made a sexual comment towards the MSP before hugging and licking them on the neck.
The 57-year-old pled guilty to acting in a threatening and abusive manner towards an elected official, an offence under Section 38(1) of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010, in February.
…
A non-harassment order, stopping her from contacting her victim, was also granted for a three-year period.
The sheriff accepted the prosecutor’s submissions that there was a significant sexual element to the offence, and placed Wood on the sex offenders register for the same period.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
