Incident Overview
On December 21, 2025, Robyn Murdoch, 31, was recorded by the Greenock Sheriff Court as having grabbed a male police officer’s genitals, made sexually explicit remarks to him and two other officers, and attempted to bite and spit on them. The court also heard that she repeatedly kicked the officers’ bodies and directed vulgar comments toward a female officer present at the scene.
Court Findings and Charges
The court heard that Murdoch admitted to assaulting the male officer and a second male officer, as well as to the verbal and physical conduct described above. In addition, she was charged with urinating on the floor of the Greenock police station and with uttering offensive, derogatory remarks while in custody. Her not-guilty plea to the urination charge was accepted by the Crown.
Legal Outcome and Bail
Following her guilty pleas to the assault-related offences, Murdoch was released on bail. The court deferred sentencing, allowing her temporary freedom while the case proceeds toward a final judgment.
Scheduled Sentencing
The deferred sentencing is set for November 4. On that date a judge will determine the appropriate penalty for the offences to which Murdoch pleaded guilty.
Context and Implications
The case underscores the seriousness with which Scottish courts treat sexual misconduct directed at law-enforcement personnel. By documenting both the physical assault and the explicit verbal harassment, the proceedings highlight the legal system’s capacity to address conduct that seeks “sexual gratification” or aims to humiliate officers, reinforcing standards of conduct expected in interactions with police.
