| Red Rose Database
Dunfermline Sexual Abuser
A man named Lee Halpin, originally from Oakly and residing in Dunfermline, found himself at the center of a disturbing incident that took place in Fife. The events unfolded on October 25, 2019, at a friend’s residence, where Halpin’s behavior raised serious concerns and led to court proceedings.
According to reports presented at Dunfermline Sheriff Court, Halpin had been drinking with a friend prior to the incident. During this time, he unexpectedly appeared at the door of the friend’s house while completely naked from the waist down. The situation escalated when Halpin, in a state of intoxication, jumped out of the shower and answered the door topless, exposing himself to a young delivery driver who was present at the scene.
Witnesses and court documents detailed that Halpin made a provocative gesture by pointing at his genitals and making a lewd comment, saying, 'Awww come on, I’ve got my chopper out. Get in here.' This behavior was described as highly offensive and potentially frightening, especially to the young woman involved in the incident. The court heard that such conduct was not only inappropriate but also likely to cause alarm and distress.
Further background revealed that Halpin had a prior conviction for public indecency, specifically for urinating in public, which added weight to the seriousness of the current allegations. During the proceedings, it was suggested that there was a sexual element to the incident, raising concerns about the possibility of Halpin being required to register as a sex offender as part of the sentencing process.
Halpin’s defense team argued that his actions were driven by stupidity rather than malice or premeditation. They emphasized that his behavior was not planned and was a result of poor judgment, even though a friend was aware of his conduct at the time. However, Sheriff Alastair Brown did not accept this explanation, stating that Halpin’s conduct could be interpreted as a sexual demand and was both offensive and potentially threatening to the victim.
The case was adjourned, with sentencing scheduled for July 27. Depending on the court’s findings regarding the sexual nature of the act, Halpin could face registration on the sex offenders register, a measure that would have significant implications for his future.
