    JAMES SKELTON FROM SMITH JAILED FOR SEXUAL OFFENSES IN DUNDEE

    In November 2019, a disturbing case involving James Skelton, a teacher from Smith, came to light in Dundee, revealing a pattern of indecent and sexual misconduct that spanned over a decade. Skelton, aged 57, was found guilty of multiple charges related to his inappropriate behavior towards pupils and women, leading to his imprisonment for eight months.

    Skelton’s misconduct included a range of disturbing acts. One woman recounted an incident at his home following a night out in Dundee, where he assaulted her. Additionally, he was accused of peering up the skirts of young female students in his classroom by dropping pencils next to them, a tactic used to invade their privacy. These allegations painted a picture of a man abusing his position of authority in a school environment.

    The court proceedings at Dundee Sheriff Court revealed harrowing testimonies from victims. One former pupil, now 33 years old, described how she “played dead” after Skelton touched her breasts when she visited his house. The two had met in the city center after spending hours at a bar, which added a layer of betrayal given his role as an educator. Another woman recalled an incident in a store cupboard where Skelton touched her buttocks without consent. A third victim described being kissed and groped in his classroom, actions that left her feeling violated and unsafe.

    Skelton, who resides on Nelson Terrace, categorically denied all allegations, dismissing them as “absolutely ridiculous.” Despite his denials, Sheriff John Rafferty found him guilty of five separate charges committed between 2008 and 2018. The court heard that Skelton sexually assaulted a woman at his home sometime between June and December 2008. He was also convicted of indecently assaulting a former pupil at the school where he taught between January and March 2009. Further charges included touching and pushing a pupil’s buttocks in May 2010, repeatedly touching a pupil’s thigh between January and July 2018, and repeatedly dropping pencils to look up female pupils’ skirts from August 2016 to July 2018.

    During the trial, Skelton’s defense advocate, Jonathan Crowe, stated that his client had lost his teaching position as a consequence of these convictions. Crowe also mentioned that Skelton was assessed as being at low risk of re-offending and urged the court to consider a community-based sentence instead of imprisonment. However, Sheriff Rafferty emphasized the gravity of Skelton’s actions, especially given his role of trust and authority over vulnerable young people. The sheriff highlighted the courage of the witnesses who testified against him, acknowledging their bravery in recounting their experiences.

    In his sentencing remarks, Sheriff Rafferty underscored the importance of protecting the vulnerable and deterring such behavior. Skelton was sentenced to eight months in prison and was placed on the sex offender’s register for ten years. As he was led away in custody, he showed no visible emotion, reflecting the seriousness with which the court viewed his misconduct and the need for justice to be served.
