AA v HM Advocate
HCA/2026/078/XC
Appeal against Conviction
Wednesday 4 November 2026
10:30 until conclusion
Ann Ogg, Solicitor Advocate
[1] The appellant was convicted of three charges of sexual and domestic abuse at the High Court of Justiciary at Glasgow. At a continued diet of sentence on 27 January 2026, the trial judge imposed a sentence of 10 years imprisonment and made Non-Harassment Orders in respect of the two complainers for an indefinite period.
[2] The appellant appeals against conviction on grounds that the trial judge erred in directing the jury that they could find corroboration for the testimony of one of the complainers in independent evidence of her distress some months after the libel period.
[3] The High Court of Justiciary Appeal Court will hear the appeal against conviction on Wednesday 4 November 2026 at 10:30am.
