'A man who abused vulnerable women in an underground chamber at his Highland home has been given the first worldwide travel ban to be imposed by a Scottish court.
Kevin Booth, who is in his 60s, carried out "punishment beatings" using whips, canes and riding crops at his Lochdhu Lodge in Altnabreac, a small community in Caithness.
A court ruling said he had carried out "a systematic course of conduct of acts of human trafficking and exploitation" over many years.'

Can anyone tell me why this man is not in jail? Why is he free to live in his giant castle with the fucking dungeon in it but not allowed to go on holiday?

These contracts are illegal. The issue is the juries and social attitudes that think it's possible for a woman to sign them freely.

I don't blame the police. But let's face it, it's the prosecutors in Scotland who won't take it forward.

Can you imagine the victims up on the stand though. I imagine it’d be utterly brutal. There’s a reason so few rape cases make it to court as juries don’t convict so CPS only take cases forward they have a chance of winning.

There's video evidence though isn't there? Why can't it be used?

Totally enraging. Proves the patriarchy is alive and thriving in Scotland. They just don’t seem to care about protecting women and girls from abusive sadistic men.
