    JOHN NICOL OF TARBOLTON SENTENCED TO 30 YEARS FOR DECADES OF ABUSE AGAINST SISTERS

    In a case that has spanned over three decades, John Nicol, a man from Tarbolton, was finally brought to justice for the heinous sexual abuse inflicted upon two young sisters during the 1970s. The lengthy delay in prosecution underscores the challenges faced by victims in coming forward, but their courage ultimately led to Nicol’s conviction.

    It was only after Nicol was seen pushing a toddler in a shopping trolley that the victims, now grown women, decided to break their silence. Their fears for the child's safety prompted them to report their traumatic experiences, which had remained buried for years. The women, now married mothers, appeared before a jury at Ayr Sheriff Court this week to give evidence about the abuse they endured as children.

    One of the women, aged 43 at the time of the trial, recounted the disturbing memories that resurfaced. She revealed that she was forced to witness Nicol and his wife engaging in sexual acts when she was as young as six years old. Her words conveyed the deep emotional scars left by those experiences: “When I saw him with the baby in the trolley I felt as though I’d been stabbed in the stomach. I was having sleepless nights and nightmares and I just thought, I can’t let this go. You spend years trying to suppress it and then it can take one thing to bring it all back. This hasn’t been an easy road to get to.”

    Following the evidence, the jury found Nicol guilty of two charges of lewd and libidinous behavior. The court heard that between April 1970 and April 1975, Nicol repeatedly exposed himself to one of the girls at his home in Tarbolton. During these incidents, he also placed a coin on his private parts and coerced her into touching him to obtain money. The second victim was targeted between September 1972 and October 1977, when she was aged between six and eleven. Over the years, Nicol subjected her to similar abuse, including engaging in sexual acts with his deceased wife in front of her, grabbing her between the legs over her clothing, and showing her pornographic magazines.

    Despite the mounting evidence, Nicol, now aged 65, refused to admit guilt when confronted by police in March of the previous year. His criminal record, which dates back to 1959 with a conviction for indecent assault, and four prior convictions for indecent exposure in the 1960s—resulting in two prison sentences—highlight a long history of criminal behavior.

    The first victim, now 47, explained her decision to come forward: “My sister told me she was going to the police so I gave a statement too. She couldn’t live with herself if anything happened to that wee girl she saw him with.” When questioned by the defense about her motives, she clarified that her actions were not driven by financial gain, stating, “This isn’t about money, that’s not why I’m here. I’m here because of what he did and he knows he did it.”

    As the court proceedings concluded, the judge deferred sentencing Nicol, who resides on Sandgate in Tarbolton, for the preparation of background reports. The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of justice for victims of long-standing abuse and the perseverance required to bring perpetrators to account.
