SCOTLAND'S highest legal watchdog has been slammed for its mishandling of complaints over sex text lawyer Brian McConnachie.
The Faculty of Advocates has now been ordered to pay compensation to a rape victim who reported the top KC for misconduct over sex texts sent to her from a court building.
In a damning report, the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (SLCC) said the faculty failed to properly investigate McConnachie, who boasted to the woman on WhatsApp he would have sex with Sandy Brindley, the chief executive of Rape Crisis Scotland, "just to have something over her".
He also sent the woman a sexually explicit photo from the toilets of Livingston High Court just after he had represented a rape accused.
In another text, he referred to a client as a "lying c***".
