Scots lawyer fined over 'unacceptable' questioning during rape trial

A rape survivor has hit out at the 'lenient' penalty her attacker's lawyer is facing after a complaint she made against him was upheld.

The 26-year-old has campaigned for greater transparency after her ex-boyfriend Daniel McFarlane was convicted of raping her twice between December 2017 and February 2018. The committee stated that Alonzi did not appear to accept any wrongdoing or offer an apology. He was issued with a “severe written censure”.Speaking after the ruling, she said: "I was devastated after all he subjected me to in court, but I knew he had to be held to account. Lorenzo Alonzi lost my rapist’s case, and he lost this too.

"The complaints committee was clear that his conduct was inappropriate and unacceptable. Not only that, but the impact on public confidence is also significant. His actions could deter others from coming forward about their own rapes. Ultimately though, this is a victory."
