Woman who found job cutting weeds and providing massages for man 'scared and nervous' after 'sexual advances', court told
A man has gone on trial accused of leaving a woman "scared and nervous" after allegedly making sexual advances towards her at his Highland home.
Kevin Booth, 65, is charged with directing "sexual communication" towards the woman, who is now 40.
The alleged offences are said to have taken place at Booth's home at Lochdhu Lodge in Altnabreac, where he lived with his wife and young child, between 8 August 2022 and 9 December 2022.
Booth denies a charge of directing sexual communication to a woman without her consent for the purposes of his own gratification, contrary to the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009.
Wick Sheriff Court heard on Thursday that the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, found a job through a Facebook group and her contract included "cutting weeds" and providing massages to Booth.
She was driven several hundred miles to Booth's home by her husband, and said she could not leave as she did not know where in she was and could not drive.
Giving evidence with the assistance of an interpreter, the woman said she was "surprised" Booth was naked for the massages except for a towel covering his "private parts".
The massages were said to have taken place in Booth's office or a "private room", with the accused reportedly "rating" them out of 10 afterwards.
The woman said after one of the massages Booth offered her an "extra payment" to "spank" him.
On another occasion, he reportedly offered her additional money "if there was a happy ending", and that he explained it to her when she asked him what it meant.
She said she refused these requests, telling him at one point that she had children, and adding she had not done anything to suggest she was "interested in discussing these kinds of things".
The woman also claimed that at one point, the towel with which Booth covered himself during massages was replaced with a "handkerchief".

She said at her husband's suggestion, she began to take video and audio recordings of the massages, with her phone tucked into her pocket, saying she acted after Booth had "started to become naughty" during the sessions.
She said: "I started recording because whenever the cover (fell) he asked me to pick it up and cover himself, and (said) it is not his job to cover himself."
The woman described the effect Booth's actions had on her, saying: "I am actually afraid, there is fear in my chest but I did my best not to show him.
"I was scared and nervous. I cannot really explain how I felt, but I was scared and nervous."
She also claimed Booth had asked her intimate questions about her first husband, including about the size of his "manhood".
The trial, before Sheriff Eilidh MacDonald, continues.

The crimes which happen most often on your doorstep on Midlands streets
Tens of thousands of crimes were recorded in the West Midlands last year, ranging from the most serious to more minor incidents. But away from the murders, rapes and robberies, lower-level offending which happens in communities can also have a major impact on people's lives. This can include things like antisocial behaviour (ASB), burglaries and vehicle crime. READ MORE: Drivers making themselves 'invisible' to speed cameras and 'they're everywhere' Get our local newsletters like Black Country News, MySolihull and MySuttonColdfield straight to your inbox We have analysed latest crime data to see the offences which happen most often in West Midlands neighbourhoods - with the full list at the bottom of this article. Residents can also see how many of these crimes occurred in the space of a year - and whether they live in a high-crime area. There is a common theme when looking at the data, which covered the 12 months to March. By far the most common crime is 'violence and sexual offences', which is all placed into one category by West Midlands Police. Numbers are high because of the wide range of offences this covers - it takes in domestic abuse, fights outside pubs, sexual assaults and much more. This is the most common type of offence in every policing area of the West Midlands, except one, Shirley, where shoplifting is highest. Shoplifting is also a very common crime on our streets, reflecting just how big an issue this currently is. Antisocial behaviour (ASB), a frequent blight on communities, also appears in the top three across many areas. Other offences which make regular appearances include vehicle crime; and criminal damage and arson. In Birmingham, Lozells and East Handsworth has the highest crime rate in terms of violent and sexual offences. The list also includes Black Country policing areas. These tends to be larger than those in Birmingham and for this reason may have higher figures, so should not be directly compared to Birmingham neighbourhoods.

Jared Leto Accused of Sexual Misconduct by Multiple Women, Including Minors
Summary Oscar-winning actor and musician Jared Leto is facing serious accusations of sexual misconduct from at least nine women, according to a detailed report published byAir Mailon Saturday, June 7, 2025. The allegations describe a pattern of inappropriate behavior spanning over a decade, with some women claiming the incidents occurred when they were underage. The report includes interviews with nine women who describe troubling interactions with the 53-year-old actor. 'It's been an open secret for a long time,' an anonymous woman told the outlet. Among the disturbing allegations are claims that Leto asked sexual questions to a 16-year-old girl, walked out of a room nude in front of a 17-year-old, and exposed himself and masturbated before putting an 18-year-old's hand 'on him.' One woman, a model who was 16 in 2008, recounted meeting Leto at an animal rights event before visiting his studio, where she claims he flirted with her and appeared nude. Another woman stated she was also 16 when Leto approached her at a Los Angeles cafe, and later called her at night with sexually suggestive conversations. These allegations gained renewed attention last month when DJ Allie Teilz reposted a Facebook status from 2012 on her Instagram Stories, accusing Leto of inappropriate behavior when she was 17. She described his actions as 'predatory, terrifying, and unacceptable.' Following her post, Teilz shared over 50 responses from individuals who reported similar experiences, some of whom were reportedly as young as 14 to 16 years old at the time. A representative for Jared Leto has vehemently denied all allegations, asserting that the claims are 'demonstrably false' and that there was 'never any recruiting, complaints, or impropriety.' They have stated that Leto has abstained from drugs and alcohol for over 35 years. As of now, no criminal charges have been filed against Leto, and he has not publicly addressed the allegations himself.

People Are Revealing What Happened To Their Childhood Bullies Later In Life, And Wow, It's A Pretty Wild Ride
We shared a Reddit thread about where people's former childhood bullies ended up later in life. This prompted BuzzFeed Community users to tell us about what happened to their former school bullies once they became adults. The stories were pretty interesting. Here's what people shared: 1."She always made fun of me and turned my two best friends against me. I saw her at a reunion a few years ago. She approached me with that familiar nasty look on her face, like she was going to make some snide comment with the intent to humiliate me. I pretended to have no idea who she was, then hit her with, 'Oh!! You're the one who got pregnant in 10th grade!' Then, I walked away before she could respond. We graduated almost 30 years ago." —ponygirl79 2."My school bully is still teaching at my high school. The fact that he's still allowed to teach just sickens me." —a_carp97 3."There was a girl who decided to start a rumor that I asked her to prom, thus making me a 'giant lesbian.' I got spit on, hit, and pushed around, and I eventually dropped out in the 10th grade because of her. One of the girls who instigated the worst of it later tried to friend me on Facebook when I had one. I looked at her profile, and it turns out she has a wife. I never did get an apology." —pullhandlesupnotout 4."The only person I remember bullying me in high school is now my husband. He was naive then and realized I wasn't so awful. We've now been together for 21 years and married for 15. He's a great husband and father. People can change and grow!" —dazzlingcookie746 5."I was bullied throughout school, all the way from elementary through high school. One particular bully called my parents one day out of the blue, apologizing for what he'd done. It turns out he went into the military, and I guess getting bullied during training made him realize what an a-hole he was. However, in my opinion, it was too little, too late. The damage was already done. No amount of apologizing will fix what was broken." —Anonymous 6."One of my former bullies is a stand-up comedian/actor. He apologized, invited me to one of his shows, and said I could heckle him if I wanted to." —Anonymous 7."I was viciously bullied by multiple people through my childhood and teens for all my 'weird traits,' which eventually got diagnosed as autism. Also, I was really tall and, therefore, an easy target. One of my bullies actually became a social worker. I don't know if she's changed, and I don't care. This woman used classic abuser tactics on me, isolating me from my family and friends, telling me nobody would care about me like she did, and taking me on her dates so I could see 'what it looked like to be desired.' She was evil. Now she's a social worker?" "I served her dad in my store a while ago and didn't realize it was him until he gave me some details for his receipt. He said his daughter was supposed to have come in to help him, but couldn't. Once he'd left, I had to hide around the back of the store, throw up, and sob because I was so shaken up. I hadn't spoken to her in 20 years, but never recovered." —garebehr 8."My bully won the lottery and retired early. I'm not kidding. Like most lottery winners, I hope his life was a mess after that. Sorry, not sorry." —ericr1 9."I'm on good speaking terms now with one of mine now. She was also the only one at my 10-year reunion who gave condolences for my dad's passing. Ironically enough, though, she recently made a post about how her daughter is being bullied in school, and she just can't believe people would be so cruel. I kept my mouth shut." —m4eed64e13 10."My bully is a nurse in the NICU at our local children's hospital. I had a baby in February who had to spend a week in the NICU. I was TERRIFIED that I would see her and she would be the nurse to my baby. I seriously wouldn't have put it past her to neglect my baby over her hatred for me. I spoke to my husband and mother about it when I went into labor, knowing (because my baby was coming early) that she would end up in the NICU, and I wanted to know if I had the right to ask for a new nurse. They both told me not to be dramatic and get over it because a nurse couldn't be so cruel. Little do they know ALL the things she did to me over many years." "Luckily, I did not have to see her face once. I don't know if she doesn't work there anymore, was on vacation, or just saw my name and knew it would be a bad scene. Regardless, I breathe a HUGE sigh of relief whenever I remember my baby being discharged from the NICU!" —leahm491b1c910 11."One of my main bullies is now in the Army and posts pictures of himself with guns all too frequently." —triiipi 12."I sold her my childhood home. Why? Because we grew up. A family needed a home, and I had one I didn't use." —Anonymous 13."She was a friend who turned into a bully. After graduating from high school, we went our separate ways, and I haven't reconnected even though she's in the area and runs into members of my family and friends occasionally. I think she's had a chance to mature since then, as she went to college and was exposed to more than just the strict family she grew up with. She does children's book illustrations now and recently got married. I know that at least some of the bullying was in response to stress at home, especially because her mom was going through some pretty serious medical stuff at the time. I hope she's doing well, but I won't contact her. The things she did and said affected me for a long time, and I still have trouble trusting friends to be friends." —torbielillies 14."One of my worst ones is now a judge in Texas. I shudder to think about it." —wonkobox laws 15."I was bullied a lot. I was very tall, skinny, and awkward. Not a cool look in the early '80s. When I was divorced in my early 30s, I ran into two of the boys who were the worst of the lot. Neither of them had grown taller than about 5'7 and didn't recognize me when they offered me a seat at their table and offered to buy me a drink. I looked at them, smiled, held my hand to the top of my head, and told them, 'You need to be this tall to ride this ride.' I'm 5'9. It was a win for my tall, skinny, awkward 13-year-old self." —laurenebannister 16."Someone murdered him. I don't think the case was ever solved." —hello-i-am-a-potato 17."For four years, every day in high school, this guy relentlessly verbally bullied me. I pretended not to hear him. Fast forward 50 years when I walked into our 50th high school reunion. There he was. He followed me everywhere, and every time he spoke, I said something like, 'You were awful to me in high school.' I couldn't get away from him. Everywhere I went, there he was right at my side. Finally, the event was over, and we were leaving, and once again, he was right there. I said, 'You were awful,' again, and to my surprise, he said, 'I'm sorry.' I was able to say, 'I forgive you.' This was the best part of the reunion!" —Anonymous 18."I was bullied/ostracized by a group of five boys when I was 15 years old and in the 10th grade. There was never any physical violence, however. The ringleader of the group was very scarred by his parents' very acrimonious divorce when we were both 14. He was jealous of kids like me who lived in loving and stable homes. At some point, he started using drugs to cope with the difficulties he had dealing with his parents' divorce. He resorted to burglary to help fund his drug habit and was sentenced to prison multiple times. As far as I know, he is still in prison in his senior years, although it's possible that he was released at some point." "Bottom line: His parents' divorce basically ruined his life. I had no experience with divorce and didn't understand what he was going through. Looking back on this experience, if I had better understood it, maybe I could have done something to support him, and the bullying wouldn't have occurred." —sidneykaler 19."A couple of years ago, I reconnected with a girl I knew in high school, and she invited me to a small holiday get-together with some other people we went to school with. No one there had really bullied me, but they were all aware it was happening at the time and were close with the girls who were really leading it. It came up that high school was a bit rough for me, but the conversation quickly moved on, and we had a nice night. The next day, the girl who invited me texted to thank me for coming and apologized for not being a better ally in high school." "She'd known what people were saying about me, and even though she wasn't the problem (she was always very lovely and friendly and still is), she felt bad and wished she'd done something more to support me back then. It was an unnecessary apology. I never blamed her and had processed and moved on from the rest long ago, but it was still very kind of her to say, and it made me feel nice." —dalyaz 20."I was pretty quiet in high school and kept mostly to myself. I was paired with a group of mean girls one day in class, and I complimented a girl on her prom dress and asked her where she got it. She told me not to bother since the store doesn't carry dresses in my size. The whole class heard her and laughed. I never considered myself 'bigger,' just average, but after that day, I never could get out of the mindset that everybody thought I was huge. That girl has three daughters, and I worry about how she talks to them." —jojorollins5678 21."My high school bully wasn't a bully in the traditional sense, but she was a compulsive liar who had our school administrators wrapped around her little finger and would make up these grandiose stories about how we (her classmates) had wronged her in an attempt to get us into trouble. She targeted me because I had been nice to her when she transferred into the district midway through eighth grade. She harassed me (and many others) over text and via social media as well. Everyone knew she was a pathological liar, but it didn't matter because the principal and deans believed her. The only time I got sent to the principal's office in all my years attending school in this district was because of her alleging that I was 'bullying her' in 11th grade. Last year (six years after graduating high school), I met a guy who grew up a few towns away from me and attended the same state college as her. He had even been roommates with her ex-boyfriend." "I told him that the summer between first and second year of college, she came back to our hometown and told everyone that she had a boyfriend, but of course, nobody believed her because you couldn't believe a word she said, and that I was shocked to hear that that was actually true. His response was, 'That actually explains so much.' From what he told me, she hadn't changed much. At college, she was always in other people's business, always had to be the center of attention, and blackmailed several people (including the guy I met). Last I heard, she moved out to the Pacific Northwest (from the Northeast), and even though it's been seven years since I last saw or interacted with her, I still have her blocked on every platform in case she still wants to harass me." —cristinas437192d57 22."I was bullied relentlessly in junior high. I was small, an only child, and had glasses and a mouthful of braces. The girl who believed me the most actually sent me a long message on Facebook about how sorry she was, how she teaches her children to be different, and that her attitude was in response to her crappy home life. We are friends now, send each other Christmas cards, and even met for a glass of wine. After 30 years, let bygones be bygones. However, to this day, I am very particular about my appearance whenever I'm in public to prove that I'm not that girl from junior high anymore. Whenever I hear two people talking in low voices, I think they are talking about me. Bullying sticks with you for life. I'm in my 40s and still working through it." —katied47fd64e0d 23."One of the boys who made it his life goal to bully me came from a nice upper-class family, but he was totally low-class. In sixth grade, we had a class swim party, and he convinced all of the kids that I'd poison the pool and that I wasn't wanted there. I spent the rest of the party in the house, waiting until the end for my mom to come and get me. I never told my parents about it. By the time we got to high school, he'd dropped off the social map. I just found out that the bully died last year. He spent his entire adult life as a stoner, jumping from odd job to odd job. He had lots of chronic health problems related to his lifestyle choices. He lived in an old travel trailer on his cousin's farm." —Anonymous 24."I was a huge nerd and was bullied by a few girls in elementary school. A few years ago, one of them, out of the blue, messaged me to apologize and told me that she was just really jealous. I didn't realize it, but I was reading way ahead of my grade level, and she revealed that she was essentially illiterate at that point and was miserable. I hadn't thought about her in a decade, but she said it bothered her, and I appreciated it!" —skybluedays 25."I was bullied by a lot of kids in elementary school because I was small and quiet. One girl and her mother bullied me. Her mom was the Girl Scout leader. They were social-climbing snobs and even made fun of my mom's accent. They excluded me from activities. She approached me at our 40th class reunion and acted like I was her long-lost best friend. She was getting over cancer, which I wouldn't wish on anyone. We talked for a while, but I was pretty puzzled. Maybe her brush with death made her think about her choices. At earlier reunions, I just got the stink eye from her. Her besties, who were also bullies, also acted all sweet with me. I guess success is the best revenge because they were all surprised at how well I turned out. They're all doing fine, which is great. Sounds like they grew up. They were just following the lead of their snobby, social-climbing moms." —Anonymous 26."She was so cruel to me for years in high school. From the first day we met, she called me names and told horrible stories about me. She was absolutely awful! Especially about my weight because she was thin and popular, and I was the chunky nerd. Fast forward 25 years. I took a job as a teacher, and unbeknownst to me, she worked as an administrator in the gifted/talented department at the same school. We didn't interact much; she had gotten married, so she changed names and also looked very different. She knew it was me for over a year, but never said a word until one day, I realized who she was." "I still marvel at the fact that she bullied me relentlessly as a kid and then acted like we were strangers when she knew exactly who I was." —Anonymous 27."One was a guy who, for some weird reason, used to tease me relentlessly when we were in elementary and middle school. I have no idea why. He's now in prison for murdering someone. He became homeless, lived in an encampment, and got into it one night with some other guy and killed him. Another one was this awful girl from high school who, I swear, inspired Mean Girls. At some point, she was in an accident and is now paralyzed from the waist down, in a wheelchair, and lives alone in government housing. You'd think that would humble someone, but no. Her Facebook is still super rude, so I guess she hasn't changed." "Finally, just based on my own experiences as a parent, I'm pretty sure most bullies grow up and end up being parent bullies in the PTA. I quit doing volunteer work at the schools because I am too old to deal with people who peaked in high school and are still doing the same crap." —j4287b3497 28."I had one 'friend' bully me for my sexuality. She is now a mental health nurse." —woofshoe 29."We wound up becoming friends online. She had dropped out of school and gotten her GED. She's raising a child with her partner and has felt genuine remorse for middle school." —Anonymous 30."I was in high school in California, but moved to the Midwest for college, grad school, and stayed for work. Year after year, I would get reunion announcements from a bully girl who thought she was still in the in crowd. I finally emailed her that she should take me off the mailing list since I had no interest in reliving high school. Petty, but it felt good. She had married the football captain and never grew up." —jfmailacct 31."He's a real estate agent in our area. I looked at his reviews, and they're all written by his friends from high school." —jessethecowgirl 32."My bully and I ran into each other at an AA meeting that set all animosity aside.
