Woman allegedly had sex with 14-year-old

59-yearold stands accused of sexual activity with an underage boy who was on holiday in Ibiza

A 59-year-old Fife woman has gone on trial accused of having sex with a 14-yearold schoolboy on the balcony of holiday flats in Ibiza.

The boy was on holiday with his family in the resort of San Antonio. His gran told a court she saw the romp taking place in the middle of the night but was too shocked to intervene.

Gail Dickinson, of Bilsland Road, Glenrothes, denies she engaged in sexual activity with the boy by kissing him on the lips, touching him on the body, performing oral sex on him and engaging in sexual intercourse on June 13 last year.

At Dunfermline Sheriff Court yesterday, the boy’s grandmother said she heard Dickinson tell him: “You’re a handsome boy, you’re lovely,” and “You’ve got a lovely package there”.

“I thought she was talking about his private parts and that it was very, very inappropriate,” added the woman.

She said she had initially split the pair up before she found them together again in the living room of her family’s holiday apartment.

The woman said she told the boy to go to bed, but later heard whispering from the balcony and saw the pair having sex.

She said: “I could tell from his face he was enjoying it.”

The grandmother said Dickinson was “making demands” and the boy was following “like a robot”.

“It was a horrible situation,” she said. “I’m a granny watching these things.”

She said she did not intervene because other family members were sleeping and “I didn’t want a rumpus to start”.

The woman said she confronted Dickinson, who initially told her she must have been dreaming but then said: “I’m terrible, you must hate me.”

She told her daughter the next day and police were contacted when the family returned home to Fife.

The boy told the court via a video link that his mum had bought him two bottles of beer while they had a meal but Dickinson had given him more alcohol when she was away from the table.

He said he was “pretty drunk” when they returned to his family’s apartment and his mum went to bed.

The boy said: “Gail was coming on to me, telling me I was attractive. She was touching my shoulders and legs.

“She was saying ‘You’re so attractive’ and was kissing me on the neck then the lips.

He said she took his hand and led him out on to the balcony where Dickinson told him: “Your mum thinks you’re a boy but I know you’re a man.”

Asked how he had felt following the alleged sexual encounter, he said: “When I woke up in the morning I felt pretty rubbish. I didn’t expect it to happen. I regretted it. It wouldn’t have happened if I was sober.”

The jury trial before Sheriff Charles MacNair continues.
