Woman sentenced after licking politician on neck while campaigning

Elspeth Wood, 57, of Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, received a community payback order and three years of supervision after pleading guilty to threatening and abusive behavior towards an elected official.
Wood licked a Scottish Labour MSP on the neck during a campaign event, which had a significant sexual element, as noted by the sheriff.
A non-harassment order prohibits Wood from contacting the MSP for three years, and she was placed on the sex offenders register for the same period, according to court findings.
The MSP expressed relief and stated, 'I’m relieved and want to put it behind me so that I can focus on serving my constituents and representing their interests in the Scottish Parliament.
