## Resource

A former Edinburgh Sheriff Court custody manager, Lee Moffat, pulled off a bizarre double life: online, he posed as ‘Danielle,’ a female escort, swindling seven men out of cash for fake nude photos—only to be caught when police uncovered his stash of stolen police gear, including a fake warrant card and badge. After serving time for stealing equipment over nine years, he’s now facing a 12-month jail term for the scam, which netted him just £200. His lawyer noted he was just 20 when he committed the crimes and is now working as a driver, with sentencing pending a social work report.
