A 49-year-old man known as “Creepy Gibby” has been found guilty of historical sex offences against two women – who were children at the time.
Gibson Dunbar, was found guilty after trial of lewd, indecent and libidinous practices and behaviour towards one girl on a number of occasions in the late 80s and early 90s at a property in Dundee.
He was also found guilty of lewd, indecent and libidinous practices and behaviour towards a second girl on a number of occasions in the mid-90s, also at a property in Dundee.
Addressing the jury, fiscal depute Vicki Bell said: “The Crown invites you to return a verdict of guilty in this case because the evidence overwhelmingly proves not only the guilt of Gibson Dunbar in relation to these charges but also proves that he is a manipulative person who abused the trust of children.
“There are a number of reasons, besides their demeanour, that I would submit should lead you to the overwhelming conclusion that these women were telling the truth.
“The first is the level of detail that they were able to give about what happened to them.
“And then there are the striking similarities between their descriptions of the sexual abuse.”
She added that one woman always thought the accused was “creepy.” He had the nickname “Creepy Gibby.”
The fiscal added: “A nickname such as that does not come from nowhere.”
Dunbar had denied the charges, claiming his victims were lying.
After the jury delivered their verdict, the court heard Dunbar had four previous convictions, for vandalism and breach of the peace.
Solicitor Advocate Jonathan Grow, defending, told the court he intended to save mitigation for when reports were available.
Sentence was deferred until November 9 for reports.
