OAP drugged women

A PENSIONER is facing a lengthy jail term for committing sex acts on four women while they slept.

Terence Cox gave two of his victims spiked coffee before photographing their naked bodies once they had passed out.

Two other women were sexually assaulted by Cox while they slept in his house.

A sheriff warned the 66-year-old that his case was so serious that it could be remitted to the High Court.

He has been placed on the sex offenders register for life.

Cox pleaded guilty at Dundee Sheriff Court to four offences between April 2016 and May this year.

The first victim was Cox’s former partner and he had been living with her at the time of the offence.

The court heard that after drinking a coffee Cox had made for her, the only recollection she had was waking up the next morning naked.

Cox, of Kinloch Street, lied saying she had suffered an epileptic fit. The woman later discovered three images of herself on Cox’s phone lying naked.

His second victim was a friend he had met through attending the Eagles Wings Trust at the Elim Church on Douglas Street.

She took valium at Cox’s home and recalled waking up naked in his bed on an occasion in September 2016.

Prosecutor Stewart Duncan said: “She shouted at the accused and demanded to know what happened.

“The accused said that she fell asleep in the living room and also said he removed her clothes because he didn’t want her to get sweaty.

“The complainer, who is a light sleeper, could not recall any of this happening.”

She believed Cox had put valium in her coffee and was later told by another person that Cox had shown them images of her lying naked.

A third woman, who Cox met at a local church, had been staying with him after having her electricity cut off.

In August last year, she awoke to find Cox standing at the side of the bed she was sleeping i n and touching her genitals.

The court heard that Cox had known his fourth victim for many years and would often lend her money.

She stayed overnight at his home in May this year and woke up to find him lying behind her naked and sexually abusing her.

Mr Duncan added: “Upon realising what the accused was doing, she said ‘what the **** are you doing? Get out of this room.

“Later in the morning, nothing was mentioned but she later said words to the effect that his conduct was unacceptable.

“The accused replied ‘what do you think I am? Some sort of beast or something?’”

Sheriff Tom Hughes deferred sentence on Cox for reports until next month. He was remanded in custody.

Terence Cox is facing prison.
