William Coull, the individual responsible for the viral Willy Wonka Experience, has been revealed as a sexual predator who scarred a lady and is currently listed on the sex offenders register.
William Coull, 36, relentlessly pursued his victim at a residence in Darnley, Glasgow, from March 26 until July 2, 2024.
William Coull persistently transmitted obscene images and texts to her, against her requests to cease.
One text stated that William Coull was a “wolf” and she was his “prey”.
William Coull’s conduct was amid the fallout from the infamous Willy Wonka Experience, which he organised in February this year.
Families forked out £35 a ticket for the event, described as disastrous, ill-prepared and shoddy.
The shamed former charity worker was forced to shut the event down amid claims it left children in tears.
The disastrous Willy Wonka (Wanka) Experience became world famous.
William Coull’s career is now in total ruin after he pled guilty to engaging in a course of criminal behaviour, which was abusive.
He was placed on the sex offenders register for one year after his conduct was deemed to have a “significant sexual element” to it.
William Coull was also sentenced to 120 hours of unpaid work and put under supervision for a year.
Sent lurid pics
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard William Coull suffered a “decline in his mental health” due to the “significant media attention” including a documentary on him.
He was accused of messaging his victim from a fake Facebook account in March.
He continued to message her on Snapchat and WhatsApp and used “sexual language.”
William Coull referred to her as “sexy”, “sugar lips” and “my wee charm”.
Prosecutor Iain Mathieson said: “The woman requested that he stop using these names but he continued.”
William Coull went on to send her pictures of himself in his underwear, as well as more intimate images which she “did not ask for or want”.
William Coull sent lurid pictures through the Snapchat app.
Mr Mathieson said: “William Coull sent a snapchat of himself holding his belt with the caption ‘Do you want me to do more?’
“He then sent a picture in his underwear with the caption ‘Do you want me to go further?’”
The messages were ignored and William Coull later sent a Snapchat of him removing his clothing until he was only wearing his underwear.
The woman asked William Coull to stop sending the messages but they continued.
On July 2, William Coull sent a Snapchat saying: “I’m the wolf and you are my prey, I will get you.”
The matter was then reported to the police and William Coull, of the city’s Anniesland, was arrested.
Alternative to prison
Neil Stewart, defending, told the court: “He has been distressed with the proceedings and will never do something of this nature again.”
Sheriff Mark Maguire said the custodial threshold had been passed but he was able to impose an “alternative to custody.”
He said: “She told you to desist from using sexual language but despite this you sent intimate images and messages of an alarming character.
“She told you to stop and you failed to desist and sent further messages of a menacing nature.
“To be frank, it is unlikely that but for the sexual nature of the material sent to the victim, this case would not be here and it is quite possible that it might not have been criminal.”
