Sex fiend conned West Lothian victim he met on dating app

Christopher Harkins preyed on women in a six-year reign of terror.

Christopher Harkins plead guilty to financial abuse offences on Tuesday, 16 January, 2024, and was today found guilty of violent and sexual offences by a jury. Detective Inspector Iain Renfrew, Police Scotland said: “Christopher Harkins is a violent and contemptable individual who preyed on woman looking for love and companionship. He made them believe they were in a loving and exclusive relationship but that was nowhere near the truth.

“The fact that he had been convicted is a tremendous credit to the women who came forward to police. Their testimony is why he has been convicted today.
