The former tenant of a popular bar in Falkirk's High Street who was convicted of sexual assault last year has been banned from the premises by the current owners after Police Scotland raised concerns he was still managing the site.
Sergeant Malcolm O'May, of Forth Valley licensing department, told members of Falkirk Council's licensing board on Wednesday that the police believed that Darren Scott Rae was continuing to manage Cheerz Bar, despite having surrendered his personal licence.
Mr Rae was convicted last year of sexually assaulting a woman and in July was given a community payback order and placed on the sex offenders' register for 18 months.
