The woman said she was “appalled” Brian McConnachie KC had escaped a ban from practising
A whistleblower who reported a leading lawyer for sending sex texts about the head of Rape Crisis Scotland has branded him “exploitative”.
The woman said: “It is appalling. A fine is nothing to a man as wealthy as McConnachie and a written censure amounts to a ticking off.She said she had first been in contact with McConnachie in July 2020 via Twitter regarding her quest for justice over multiple rapes. “He pursued an improper relationship with a vulnerable person who had been raped. It was sexist and exploitative.
The woman, who is taking legal advice on whether she can appeal to increase McConnachie’s punishment, added: “Not only has he disgraced himself but his behaviour dishonours the legal profession. I felt it was important that he be held to account but this penalty has not done that.”
