I wish all the media outlets including the BBC would use the Police Scotland image of this man, rather than the filtered Facebook image that is being used of an apparently glamorous woman.
To be fair to the article's author, they are quoting the perpetrator's attempted defence when using the term "motherly" to the police on arrest. At least this person later chose to plead guilty and spare the victim the ordeal of a trial rather than try to persist with that ridiculous attempt at a defence.
