KHALI BRANNAN FROM FORFAR GUILTY OF MULTIPLE CHILD ASSAULTS IN FORFAR

A woman from Forfar has been officially convicted of multiple assault charges involving three young children, following a detailed two-day trial held at Forfar Sheriff Court. The proceedings revealed a disturbing pattern of abuse carried out by Khali Brannan, aged 32, over a span of several years.

According to court records, Brannan committed repeated acts of violence against one of the children between the years 2013 and 2020. Her methods of assault included punching, kicking, and physically pulling the child's ears, actions that caused significant concern and distress. The abuse was not isolated but occurred multiple times at various locations within Forfar, indicating a sustained pattern of harmful behavior.

In addition to her first victim, Brannan was also found guilty of assaulting a second child on numerous occasions during the same period. These assaults involved kicking and ear-pulling, further demonstrating her repeated use of physical violence against young, vulnerable victims. The youngest of her victims was just a baby when Brannan pulled their ears and punched them, with these incidents taking place between 2017 and 2020. The court heard detailed accounts of her actions, which painted a troubling picture of ongoing abuse.

Khali Brannan, who resides at Lordburn Place in Forfar, was convicted after the trial and is scheduled to be sentenced on October 19. Her sentencing will determine the final legal consequences of her actions, but prior to this, she has already been subjected to a form of judicial supervision. She has been placed on a one-year supervision order and ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid community work. Additionally, she has been referred to the Glenisla Project, a program designed for supervision and rehabilitation.

The court's decision underscores the seriousness of her offenses and highlights the ongoing efforts to protect children from abuse. The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and intervention in situations where the safety of young children is at risk. The community in Forfar and beyond will be watching closely as the legal process continues, hoping for justice and the prevention of further harm.
