In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Calum Lewsley, 31, of Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire, was jailed for nine years for the “sustained” rape of a vulnerable teenage girl. On appearing at the High Court in Glasgow for sentencing, it was reported that the arrogant and remorseless predator preyed on an 18-year-old stranger who had previously been reported missing. The court reported that the attack occurred on 6 May 2025, after Lewsley approached the girl near the Kirky Puffer bar in Kirkintilloch.
The investigation established that Lewsley used a “missing person” ruse to lure the teenager to his home nearby, claiming she could charge his phone and call the police. Police Scotland reported that once inside the property, Lewsley forced the girl into his bedroom, where he subjected her to a sustained sexual assault. The prosecution reported that after the rape, Lewsley had the audacity to call the police himself, stating the girl was “vulnerable” and “missing,” before flagging down a passing patrol car in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Lewsley was a registered sex offender at the time of the attack, having previously been convicted of molesting a 15-year-old girl. The High Court in Glasgow heard how the defendant was already subject to various court-imposed community supervision orders when he committed the rape. The prosecution reported that while Lewsley initially made no comment to officers, he later pled guilty to the rape, although his subsequent accounts to others were described as “erratic” and lacking in remorse in Glasgow.
Lord Arthurson noted that the crime was “deeply concerning” and reflected a dangerous pattern of sexual violence. For his actions in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire, Lewsley was sentenced to nine years in prison. The judge noted that while he had “considerable hesitation” in not ordering a full risk assessment for an Order for Lifelong Restriction (OLR), he instead mandated that Lewsley be monitored for an additional five years upon his eventual release to ensure public safety.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Lewsley is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) at the highest level of oversight by Police Scotland and the prison estate. Due to the “sustained” nature of the rape and his history of targeting a 15-year-old girl in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire, his management is subject to intensive scrutiny by the National Probation Service.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register, Lewsley must comply with notification requirements regarding his identity and residence for the remainder of his life. Authorities state that his history of predatory behavior while already under court supervision necessitates permanent and stringent monitoring of his conduct. Any further sexual misconduct or breach of his five-year extended supervision in Kirkintilloch, Glasgow, or elsewhere will result in immediate arrest and a return to the court system for further incarceration.
