Disciplinary watchdog heard he made claims of sex in legal buildings and called client a liar

A TOP QC sent texts about the head of Scotland's largest rape charity saying he would "shag" her "just to have something over her".

In a series of salacious messages, Brian McConnachie QC also sent a sexually explicit photograph of himself from the toilets of a high court building minutes after defending a rape accused.

In WhatsApp messages to a woman, he also made claims of having sex in various legal buildings including courtrooms and the Crown Office and at an official party for Scotland's top law officer, the Lord Advocate.

In another text he referred to a client as a "lying c***" and was found to have breached his duty of confidence.

McConnachie, a former high court prosecutor, is one of Scotland's top legal aid earners and has acted in some of the country's most high-profile cases.

The woman shared the messages as evidence for a formal complaint she lodged with legal watchdogs regarding McConnachie's professional conduct.

A disciplinary committee from the Faculty of Advocates has issued a judgment on the complaints but has upheld only a fraction of the shocking allegations as “unsatisfactory professional conduct".
