    LAWTON RAMSAY FROM MAYFIELD FOUND GUILTY OF ABUSING SCHOOLGIRLS IN MIDLOTHIAN

    In a disturbing case that has shocked the community of Midlothian, Lawton James Ramsay, a 77-year-old resident of Mayfield, has been convicted of sexually abusing two vulnerable young girls over a period of several years. The allegations against Ramsay, who is commonly known as Jim, involve a series of heinous acts that took place during visits to his home and trips in his car, revealing a pattern of predatory behavior that spanned from 2005 to 2009.

    Ramsay targeted two girls, who were just 10 and 11 years old at the time, during weekly visits to his residence in Mayfield. The abuse included exposing himself and touching the girls inappropriately. The victims, now aged 24 and 25, recounted their experiences in court, describing how Ramsay’s actions began when they were very young and how the abuse persisted over several years.

    The younger victim, who is now 24, testified that Ramsay forced himself on her while she was drawing pictures in his kitchen, with his wife present in the next room. She detailed how the trauma of those moments has stayed with her into adulthood. The older victim, now 25, explained that she and her sister would visit Ramsay’s home roughly once a week, often in the company of his wife, who was sometimes at work during these visits. She described how their relationship initially seemed benign but gradually turned into something more sinister, with Ramsay engaging in sexual activities with them.

    Both women also described incidents where Ramsay, a retired blacksmith, took them on trips in his car to the countryside. These outings, they said, were also occasions for further abuse. During the trial, a police interview with Ramsay was played in full, revealing his own admissions of having sexual contact with the girls. However, Ramsay claimed he believed both girls to be over 16 at the time and attempted to shift blame onto the victims, asserting that they had “wound him up sexually” and that he was unwittingly caught in a “trap.”

    In his police statement, Ramsay stated, “About three of four years ago the girls were winding me up sexually by saying different things and doing things. I should have had the sense to stop it. It wasn’t intercourse but it was other things. I would never groom anybody — they just wound me up. I fell into the trap. I was like a father-figure — I loved those girls. But there was never a case of molesting them.”

    Following a trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, a jury found Ramsay guilty of four charges of lewd and libidinous practices committed at his home address in Mayfield between April 1, 2005, and July 21, 2009. An additional charge of unlawful sexual intercourse with one of the girls was dropped after the Crown’s case concluded earlier this week. Sheriff Alistair Noble sentenced Ramsay to be placed on the sex offenders’ register and deferred the final sentencing until next month, pending further proceedings.

    The court heard emotional testimony from the victims, with the younger woman describing her ordeal while drawing in Ramsay’s kitchen, and the older woman recounting the gradual escalation of abuse over the years. The case has brought to light the disturbing reality of how vulnerable children can be exploited by those they trust, and it underscores the importance of vigilance and justice in protecting young victims from predatory individuals.
