DEAN BROMAGE SCANDAL IN DUNDEE: SEX OFFENDER ON THE REGISTERS AFTER SALVATION ARMY INCIDENTS
A music instructor from Dundee, Dean Bromage, has been officially placed on the Sex Offenders Register following his conviction for sexually assaulting a young woman during a Salvation Army concert.The court proceedings revealed disturbing details about the incidents, which took place in different cities across the UK.
Dean Bromage was sentenced to perform unpaid community service after being found guilty of groping the woman on two separate occasions.
The court heard that Bromage had denied the allegations, claiming he did not lean back and touch the woman between her legs nor touch her breast during the charity performances.
However, the evidence presented painted a different picture.
The incidents in question occurred in Edinburgh and Aberdeen, respectively, between May 2018 and February 2019.
The court was told that after the incident in Edinburgh, Bromage made a disturbing comment to the woman, stating that she “probably enjoyed it,” which further implicated his misconduct.
During the trial, Bromage, who is married and resides in Monifieth, denied the allegations and claimed that his accuser was committing perjury.
Despite his denial, the sheriff presiding over the case found the woman’s account to be credible and convicted Bromage of the charges.
In his sentencing remarks, Sheriff John Rafferty acknowledged the courage of the witness who came forward to testify.
He stated, “You are aware of the offence you have been convicted of and the consequences it may have and probably will have on your career.” The sheriff also emphasized the emotional toll of the case, noting, “The court is very much aware of the courage the witnesses exhibited in coming to court and giving evidence.
The court wishes to recognise that.
This must have been a distressing matter which has inevitably had a degree of lasting effect on the complainer.”
