John Clark

Offence Summary

John Clark 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

John Clark was one of six co-accused convicted in 2023 at the High Court in Glasgow for their involvement in a paedophile ring that perpetrated child sex offences against three victims in a drugs den.

The convictions encompassed rape, sexual abuse, and other serious crimes, with the environment marked by heroin and cocaine use. Charges related to Satanic rituals were withdrawn, and the group was cleared of dog-killing. Clark, along with Barry Watson, Elaine Lanney, Iain Owens, Paul Brannan, and Scott Forbes, awaits sentencing later this month following the trial's revelations of organised abuse.

  • The ring's activities involved gang rape and attempted murder charges among others.
  • The case was prosecuted based on evidence from Police Scotland.

This conviction forms part of a broader effort to address child exploitation networks, with expert assessments in connected hearings pointing to persistent risks from such offenders upon release.
