Offence Summary

Paul Brannan was convicted as part of a paedophile ring that abused three children, including charges of rape and sexual abuse, and is awaiting sentencing.

Full Description

Paul Brannan was convicted in 2023 as a member of a six-person paedophile ring at the High Court in Glasgow, guilty of child sex offences including rape and sexual abuse against three children in a drug den setting.

The trial exposed the use of heroin and cocaine in the abuse environment, with dropped Satanic ritual charges and an acquittal on dog-killing for Brannan and his co-accused: Barry Watson, Elaine Lanney, Iain Owens, John Clark, and Scott Forbes. Sentencing for the group is set for later this month, following a 2023 trial that detailed 18 charges against key member Owens, including gang rape and attempted murder.

The convictions highlight systematic child exploitation within the group.
Related risk evaluations stress the need for stringent post-release measures.

The case, investigated by Police Scotland, serves as a stark example of the prosecution of organised child abuse networks in Scotland.
