Kilwinning Child Sexual Abuser
In a disturbing incident that has shocked the community of Kilwinning, Logan Reid, a 19-year-old resident of the town, was involved in a serious sexual assault on a 15-year-old girl. The assault took place in the early hours of October 9, 2022, at a secluded basketball court located within Kilwinning. The events unfolded after Reid had attended a house party earlier that evening, where he was reportedly intoxicated and claimed he was 'too drunk' to leave with others. Despite his condition, Reid persistently asked the teenage girl to walk home with him. Initially, she refused his repeated requests, but eventually agreed to accompany him to a nearby lane, possibly out of concern or pressure. From there, they proceeded to the quiet basketball court, a location that provided Reid with an isolated setting for his heinous actions.
According to the victim’s account, she had been drinking that night and was lying on her back with her feet against a fence at the basketball court when Reid assaulted her. The assault was not only sexual in nature but also included physical violence, as Reid bit her and slapped her on the chest. The girl, distressed and overwhelmed, managed to break free from Reid’s grasp and returned to the house she had left earlier. Despite her escape, she could hear Reid shouting after her, which added to her trauma. In her distress, she attempted to contact a friend via FaceTime, crying and hyperventilating as she recounted the ordeal. She eventually disclosed the assault to her friend and her family, revealing the extent of her injuries, which included bruises and abrasions caused by the attack.
Reid was subsequently brought before the High Court in Glasgow, where he admitted to the charge of sexual assault. It is noteworthy that he had previously faced a rape accusation, but in this case, he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge. The court deferred sentencing to allow for the preparation of reports, and Reid was granted bail pending further proceedings. The sentencing hearing took place in Edinburgh on June 26, 2025, where Judge Lord Renucci delivered a verdict that reflected both the severity of the crime and Reid’s age. The judge emphasized that Reid’s youth had played a role in his sentencing, which resulted in a community payback order requiring him to complete 300 hours of unpaid work and an eight-month restriction of liberty order. Lord Renucci stated that the community order was a “direct alternative” to imprisonment, underscoring that if Reid breached any part of the order, he would face detention. The judge also expressed that, had Reid been older, he would have been sent to prison for his actions.
During the proceedings, the court heard from prosecutor Greg Farrell about the victim’s emotional state following the assault. She had attempted to contact a friend via FaceTime, crying and hyperventilating, and was recorded telling her friend what had happened. The victim later confided in her parents and another friend about her ordeal. Medical examination revealed that she sustained bruises and abrasions from the attack, highlighting the physical toll of Reid’s assault. The case initially involved a charge of rape, but prosecutors accepted Reid’s guilty plea to sexual assault, acknowledging his responsibility. Defense advocate Rosalyn McTaggart expressed remorse on Reid’s behalf, noting that her client was genuinely sorry for his actions and that a court-appointed social worker had shown empathy for the victim and believed Reid’s remorse was sincere.
Judge Renucci concluded by warning Reid that he would be monitored closely and that any breach of the court’s orders would result in his return to court. He also remarked that, without Reid’s age, he would have faced a custodial sentence. The court scheduled a follow-up hearing in Glasgow for September to assess Reid’s progress with the community order, emphasizing the importance of rehabilitation and accountability in cases involving young offenders.
