The Boys’ Brigade has launched civil proceedings against a former Fife lawyer and football club chairman convicted of sexually abusing two boys more than 20 years ago, The Courier reports.
Julian Danskin, 68, was jailed for 18 months in 1999 when he was found guilty of offences against two former members over a period of seven years while he was captain of the 1st Methil company.
Nigel Cooke, Mr Danskin’s solicitor, told the newspaper: “All I am in a position to say is that the action raised by the Boys’ Brigade against Julian Danskin will be vigorously defended.”
The former chairman of East Fife Football Club was found guilty of three charges of a sexual nature after a two-week trial at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court in 1999.
His appeal against conviction at the time was dismissed.
