A trio of care workers who took vulnerable residents to a male strip show to fill a bucket list request have been cleared of criminal charges.
The workers - who took residents in a minibus to the saucy show - were found not guilty of "ill-treating or wilfully neglecting" the care home residents. One resident complained about the drunken trip the following morning after being shocked when a naked male stripper clambered over her wheelchair.
Lisa Dolan, 48, said she had never been to a strip show before and had expected it to be just like the movie The Full Monty.
But she told Dundee Sheriff Court she had to smack the young stripper on the bottom to get rid of him as he stood completely naked in front of her. She told a trial of the three carers that she felt "vulnerable" and was shocked that the show was much more graphic with full-on nudity than she was prepared for.
She said accused trio Caitlin Gibb, Shannon Briggs and Samantha Brunton became "happy" during the evening and were seen buying drinks at the bar in Baxter's. However, after hearing Crown evidence in the case, Sheriff David Hall brought the case to an end by formally acquitting the trio of any wrongdoing.
Miss Dolan said the trip had been organised by the Linlathen Neurodisability Centre in Dundee after a former resident put it on her bucket list of things to do. Gibb, 22, Shannon Briggs, 25, and Samantha Brunton, 36, all Dundee, had denied the charge.
All three were alleged to have "ill-treated or wilfully neglected" two patients in their care by taking them out of the centre in the run up to Christmas 2018. They were alleged to have attended the Linlathen centre while they were under the influence of alcohol on 1 December and taken Sandra McGowan and Lisa

A delivery driver who claims he was viciously kicked in the head after being ‘attacked by a road rage driver ’ has slammed police after they gave him with a recorded caution instead. James McGoldrick called officers for help after being followed by a man who had earlier cut him off on the road while he was on his way to drop off food in East Kilbride last November. The 59-year-old claims he was knocked to the ground and repeatedly punched and kicked by the man as he tried to defend himself. But James, who is also a carer for his partner, claims that Police Scotland officers did not arrive at his home to take a statement until two days after the incident - and that they failed to record any information about his injuries. After around two weeks without contact from cops, the dad-of-two says officers then turned up at his partner’s home and slapped him with a formal police caution while allegedly stating that he had just ‘been in a fight and lost’. James, who believes he is a victim of injustice, told the Record: “I ended up with a concussion but they’re trying to say it was a wee stramash.
