In 2026, William Coull—the organiser behind the infamously disastrous “Willy Wonka Experience” in Glasgow—appeared in court to face a serial of grave sex crime allegations. The investigation established that Coull is accused of a 17-year serial of strikes against multiple victims, including the rape of a woman and the molestation of a child. The prosecution reported at the High Court in Glasgow that these alleged crimes identify a total abandonment of human decency, spanning from 2006 to 2024, involving victims across different age groups.
The investigation established that the earliest alleged strike occurred on 1 December 2006, when Coull is accused of molesting a 14-year-old boy in the Gorbals area, including in a secluded spot near the city’s sheriff court. More recent allegations from 7 July 2024 claim that Coull targeted a 16-year-old girl and a woman at a property in Glasgow’s East End. The prosecution reported that Coull allegedly pushed the teenager against a wall and raped the woman while she was “intoxicated and incapable of consenting,” identifying a calculated serial of predatory behaviour.
PUBLIC PROFILE AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS
The court reported that Coull gained international notoriety in February 2024 for the “Wonka” event, which featured AI-generated scripts and sparse props in a warehouse. The investigation established that while he was becoming a public figure for the failed event, he was allegedly continuing a serial of strikes against the safety of others. The prosecution reported that during the hearing in April 2026, Coull’s lawyer entered a plea of not guilty to all charges, identifying a legal serial of proceedings that will now move toward a full trial.
Judge-led proceedings at the High Court in Glasgow have been scheduled to begin in June 2027. For his alleged actions in the Gorbals and the East End, and the nature of the serial sexual assault investigation reported, William Coull has been remanded for trial. The investigation established that Coull, of Knightswood, Glasgow, remains on bail in the meantime. He is subject to strict conditions to ensure the principles of human decency and the life-safety of the community are maintained throughout the 2006–2024 serial of allegations.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
In 2026, Coull is managed as a high-profile defendant under the statutory requirements of his bail conditions. Due to the nature of the behaviour—specifically the serial persistence of the allegations over nearly two decades—he is a priority for judicial oversight to ensure he appears for his June 2027 trial. Authorities reported that the 2026 proceedings identify an individual who allegedly prioritised predatory impulses and deceptive public ventures over the principles of human decency and the life-safety of others.
As the trial date of June 2027 approaches, his details remain logged on national police databases pending the outcome. Authorities stated that the behaviour reported identifies an alleged serial commitment to sexual exploitation and violence. Any future attempt to strike against his bail conditions or interfere with the serial of evidence results in immediate legal intervention to ensure the ongoing protection of the judicial process from an individual who allegedly used a “children’s event organiser” mask to hide predatory serial behaviour.
QUESTION – Given that the offender used his public profile to organise events for children while allegedly carrying out a serial of strikes against minors, do you believe the law should legally mandate that “All Event Organisers” must have “Mandatory Public Disclosure” of any active sex crime investigations before they are allowed to sell tickets to the public?
