Muhammad Sheikhi

On 10 August 2026, Muhammad Sheikhi, 23, was sentenced to four years in jail at Stirling Sheriff Court. The sentencing followed his involvement in two sexual assaults which took place on 30 November 2025 in Falkirk.

The court heard that Sheikhi targeted two women in their early 20s who were walking home alone after nights out. The first assault occurred at a railway bridge on Kerse Lane, where he hugged the victim, kissed her repeatedly, and touched her under her clothing. Shortly after, Sheikhi assaulted a second victim in Kerse Lane and a nearby skate park, where he pinned her against a tree and touched her under her clothing.

Sheriff Keith O'Mahony described the incidents as deliberate and predatory actions against strangers. Sheikhi was sentenced to a total of four years in custody for these offences.
