A 48-year-old sex attacker penned a sexually explicit letter to his victim after molesting her in Fife.
Scott Dingwall pled guilty to sexually assaulting the woman at an address in Oakley, near Dunfermline, in August 2020.
He admitted the charge when he appeared from custody at Dunfermline Sheriff Court this week.
Procurator fiscal depute Laura McManus told the court Dingwall and the woman had been drinking alcohol together and had engaged in some consensual sexual contact during the evening.
But in the early hours of the next morning, an argument broke out and Dingwall sexually assaulted her.
The fiscal depute said this took place without her consent and it “caused her pain” and she “screamed out”.
She then left and went to a friend’s house and was described as being in a distressed state but did not tell her pal what had happened.
Letter
The court heard Dingwall then wrote a sexually explicit letter to the woman, in which he appeared to try to justify his actions.
The letter was seized by police after she reported the sexual assault later that month.
Dingwall accepted he had written the letter when later questioned by police.
Sheriff Charles Macnair adjourned sentencing on Dingwall until August 15 and he was remanded in custody.
Dingwall, whose address on court papers was given as prisoner of HMP Edinburgh, was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register.
