James English Convicted of Domestic Abuse After 12-Day Glasgow Trial
The court found six allegations proven after a 12-day trial, and sentencing was deferred until next month, officials said.
- On August 25, 2026, Sheriff David Hall convicted podcaster James English of domestic abuse following a 12-day trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court, finding six of 19 allegations proven.
- English met the 30-year-old woman on Instagram in July 2022, but the relationship deteriorated into abuse between July 2022 and November 2023 at his Argyle Street flat and elsewhere.
- Evidence detailed multiple assaults including English grabbing his pregnant partner by the throat and pinning her against a door, pressing his thumbs into her eyebrows, pulling her hair, and kicking her off a bed.
- Defense counsel Calum Weir argued the Crown's case "fell short" due to lack of photographic evidence, yet Sheriff Hall stated he found the victim "credible and reliable" when convicting English.
- As host of the "Anything Goes" podcast, English maintains more than 800,000 YouTube subscribers, making his conviction significant for a digital platform built on his public profile.
