Overview
- The Scottish Social Services Council, which regulates care staff in Scotland, removed Megan Neilson from the register Wednesday following her criminal conviction.
- Neilson was found guilty at Hamilton Sheriff Court of engaging in sexual activity with a vulnerable client in 2022 and received unpaid work, electronic tagging, supervision, and five years on the sex offenders' register.
- Prosecutors said the conduct included repeated kissing and cuddling at public venues and a sex act in a car at the Falkirk Wheel between June and August 2022.
- The relationship came to light when the pair arrived hand-in-hand at the man's father's home, who reported the breach of trust to police.
- Jurors saw a police interview in which the man said he believed they were a couple, and regulators later said Neilson's refusal to accept the conduct limited her insight and raised concerns about repetition.
