In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Craig Maisey stood trial for a series of predatory incidents involving the harassment and intimidation of women in their own homes. Appearing at Aberdeen Sheriff Court, the 35-year-old handyman—who was employed by Chap Construction—was accused of targeting a string of customers over a three-month period. It was reported that Maisey used his position of trust to corner women while they were alone, offering to perform household repairs in exchange for sexual favours.
The investigation established that Maisey’s conduct caused significant fear and alarm among his victims in Aberdeen. Police Scotland reported that the defendant would wait until his supervisors left the premises before making inappropriate sexual advances. The prosecution reported that in one instance, a 23-year-old mother was left terrified after Maisey blocked her exit and claimed he possessed a skeleton key that allowed him access to any flat at any time, including hers.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Maisey’s behaviour was not merely that of a chatty or lazy workman, as suggested by his defence, but was a calculated effort to instil fear. Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard evidence from multiple women who described how Maisey would enter homes uninvited, refuse to leave, and even sit outside their properties in his car after being asked to depart. The investigation established that one victim was so disturbed by his claims of having a master key that she had her locks changed immediately after he left her property.
Sheriff Graham Buchanan presided over the trial where the fiscal depute detailed how Maisey would strike up sexual conversations with women who were often alone with young children. For his actions in Aberdeen, Maisey faced four charges of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm. The judge noted that the evidence from the victims was consistent, describing a man who deliberately exploited his professional access to private residences to solicit sexual acts.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Maisey is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) within the Aberdeen area. Due to the nature of his conduct, which involved the predatory targeting of lone women in their bedrooms and living rooms, his management is a priority for the Public Protection Unit. Authorities state that his claims regarding skeleton keys and his habit of blocking exits require the most intensive level of supervision by Police Scotland to ensure he does not gain employment that grants him access to private dwellings.
As a confirmed offender, Maisey’s details are logged on the national police database. Authorities state that his behaviour demonstrated a persistent effort to intimidate and sexually harass vulnerable residents. Any failure to comply with his court-ordered conditions, any attempt to seek work as a handyman in Aberdeen, or any further reports of loitering outside former victims’ homes will result in immediate arrest to ensure the ongoing safety of the community and to uphold the protection of the public from a confirmed offender.
