Victims of a former Edinburgh councillor who carried out a series of sex attacks whilst he held public office feel "badly let down" by the council, a councillor has said.
Kate Campbell, SNP, criticised councillors who she said tried to appoint her ex-party colleague Lewis Ritchie to committees whilst aware of serious allegations against him.
Richie, who quit the SNP group in 2018 amid assault claims against him, was found guilty on Wednesday (August 24) of sexually assaulting three women, after a two day trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
