BROUGHTY FERRY BRUTE SECRETLY FILMED WOMEN AND ASSAULTED OTHERS
Update 11/06/2026: William Buick, aged 39, received a sentence of three years and nine months after being found guilty of crimes committed between 2010 and 2024.During proceedings at the High Court in Dundee, a jury learned that one woman sustained permanent facial disfigurement after being struck with a mobile phone.
Additionally, another woman’s life was put at serious risk when she was choked.
Buick, who resides in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, was also proven to have secretly recorded two women engaging in a sexual act at a Dundee party without their consent.
Jurors viewed CCTV footage from a Broughty Ferry hotel, which captured Buick assaulting another woman.
He was convicted on nine separate charges.
Although charged with multiple counts of rape, Buick was acquitted of those specific accusations.
At the sentencing hearing before Lord Summers, Buick was told he would be under supervision for a year following his release from prison.
Passing sentence, Lord Summers said: ‘What you did was absolutely reprehensible.
“Given the nature of the offences, it is necessary to protect the public from you so I will impose a period of post release supervision for you.
This will be 12 months.
“I need to tell you that should you not comply with the terms of the order, you may be brought back before me and may be returned to prison.” During proceedings this year, jurors heard how Buick felt “deceived” by one of his victims after learning she took part in sex work.
Their relationship was described as “volatile” and Buick subjected her to a torrent of verbal abuse and threats.
On one occasion, he seized and choked her neck to the danger of her life, before repeatedly punching her during another incident.
Buick also secretly recorded the same woman and her female friend engaging in a sex act with him at a party in Dundee.
He showed the illicitly obtained footage to others.
Another partner would go on to suffer abuse from Buick, including when she was left severely injured and “disfigured” from being struck on the head with a mobile phone.
She would also be assaulted at the Woodlands Hotel and Jolly’s Hotel, the latter of which was captured on CCTV.
Buick’s first two victims were injured in attacks in 2010 and 2011, respectively.
The fifth woman, whom he met on Tinder, had her mobile phone scanned by Buick, who claimed nude images from a man popped up on her device while he was looking at it.
He behaved in a threatening or abusive manner towards her.
On Thursday, Lord Summers also placed Buick on the Sex Offenders Register for five years.
