Top QC said he would 's**g' head of Scots rape charity 'just to have something over her'
10.05.2022 - 07:25 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A top QC sent texts about the head of Scotland’s largest rape charity saying he would “shag” her “just to have something over her”.
In a series of salacious messages, Brian McConnachie QC also sent a sexually explicit photograph of himself from the toilets of a high court building minutes after defending a rape accused.
In WhatsApp messages to a woman, he also made claims of having sex in various legal buildings including courtrooms and the Crown Office and at an official party for Scotland’s top law officer, the Lord Advocate.
In another text he referred to a client as a “lying c***” and was found to have breached his duty of confidence.
McConnachie, a former high court prosecutor, is one of Scotland’s top legal aid earners and has acted in some of the country’s most high-profile cases.
The woman shared the messages as evidence for a formal complaint she lodged with legal watchdogs regarding McConnachie’s professional conduct.
A disciplinary committee from the Faculty of Advocates has issued a judgment on the complaints but has upheld only a fraction of the shocking allegations as “unsatisfactory professional conduct”.
On October 27, 2020, McConnachie sent a text claiming another QC had said he wanted to have sex with the chief executive of Rape Crisis Scotland, Sandy Brindley.
The committee split this complaint into two parts and referred to the other QC – “a high-profile criminal advocate” – as Mr A. Firstly, McConnachie wrote Mr A had “once said to me he’d shag Sandy Brindley”.
Secondly, he added: “I might shag her, just to have something over her, but I wouldn’t enjoy it.”
The Faculty of Advocates states QCs are obliged to ensure their personal as well as their professional “honour, honesty and integrity are beyond
