A Dundee pensioner who was found guilty of carrying out sex attacks at a popular leisure pool facility has died before he could be sentenced.
Alexander Scott was found guilty by a jury of a string of sexual offences against two children, spanning more than a quarter of a century.
The 78-year-old was due to be sentenced at Dundee Sheriff Court on Tuesday in relation to six charges of sexual offending against children.
However, fiscal depute Stewart Duncan told the court Scott had passed away and the case was not formally called as a result.
Scott had been found guilty at the court last autumn of a persistent course of abuse against a female child, which started when she was eight years old in 1990.
The jury found him guilty of four charges relating to serious sexual abuse of the girl, who cannot be named, until she was 16 years old.
The trial was told Scott had carried out the abuse at his Dundee home and at other addresses in the city between April 1990 and April 1999.
Abused boy at Olympia
Scott, from William Street, Dundee, was also found guilty of abusing a young boy during a number of visits to the Olympia swimming pool in the city.
He was found guilty of carrying out a sex act in the presence of the boy between December 2011, when he was eight, and December 2013.
Scott was also found guilty of carrying out indecent behaviour against the boy at the pool complex between December 2012 and December 2016.
The trial was told the pensioner had been married twice and had worked as both a lorry driver and a taxi driver.
