Biography

In April 2023, a one of Lord Lake's rulings received media attention for the sentence he passed onto a convicted rapist. Sean Hogg was not given a custodial sentence and instead given 270 hours of unpaid work. Lord Lake's ruling received some criticism, with a deputy Crown agent at the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service calling it "unduly lenient". The man was later acquitted after an appeal.
