A creepy care home predator who sexually assaulted five female colleagues has been struck off.
Samantha Lee, 31, avoided jail when she was found guilty of seven charges of sexual assault following a summary trial at Falkirk Sheriff Court in March. The predator, of Grangemouth, was found to have hit, seized and striked her victim’s breasts, nipples and buttocks during a six-month period between January 1 and July 17, 2024.
The court heard how Lee’s treatment of one 37-year-old woman fellow worker at the institution – in Larbert, Stirlingshire – was described as “traumatic”. The victim – who’d returned to work only that day following a medical episode – said Lee had approached her at the nurse’s station and grabbed her head with both hands and pulled it into her chest.
The woman told the court: “She pulled my head into her cleavage and shook her breasts.” Prosecutor Simona Gersheva asked: “Did you want her to do that?”

The grieving mum of a young man who was stabbed to death in Glasgow has demanded police to release his killer’s image.
Kyle Zybilowicz, 29, was brutally killed by the then 34-year-old Darren McDade at his flat in the south side of the city on July 22, 2023. McDade launched the frenzied attack on Kyle, an NHS worker, as he stabbed him to death with a pair of scissors.
The brute then attempted to conceal his depraved actions by hiding the murder weapon and burning his clothes. McDade was originally accused of murder at a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
But he was convicted of the reduced charge of culpable homicide while acting under provocation. He was sentenced to eight years in jail.

A charity have expressed concerns over the numbers of Police Scotland officers being convicted of attacks on women and called on the force to take “swift action ” against offenders.
Scott Ritchie was found guilty of subjecting a former girlfriend to a five-year campaign of abuse last week at Hamilton Sheriff Court and is currently awaiting sentence
Earlier this month Cameron Ross who raped two women and carried out a campaign of domestic abuse against a third while in the force was jailed for ten years at the High Court in Edinburgh.
Dawn Brennan CEO of the women’s safety charity Wise Women said: “Despite attempts to reduce violence against women and to respond to the needs of those who experience violence and abuse we continue to see increasing numbers across all forms of violence against women.
“It is therefore extremely concerning to Wise Women that a number of Police Officers have been convicted for a variety of violence, including domestic violence, sexual harassment and rape.”
