Woman who found job cutting weeds and providing massages for man 'scared and nervous' after 'sexual advances'
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 Scotland 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.
