Violent brute John Watt was outed by Perth Against Racism online after he was spotted at protests in the town outside the Station Hotel on August 23.
A violent thug who attacked his ex partners has been slammed for ‘masquerading as a women’s saviour’ at asylum seeker protests.
Brute John Watt – who was convicted of abusing two former girlfriends in 2028 – was spotted at a number of gatherings across Scotland in recent weeks while filming for his podcast, ‘Bring the Noise’.
In a series of clips, he can be seen speaking to women about concerns for their safety.
On August 9, 40-year-old Watt was present at a demo outside a hotel in Aberdeen where he ended up in a heated exchange with a female pro-immigrant protestor.
Watt is heard telling a woman he had been speaking to a girl who is 25 years of age who is afraid about walking the streets of Aberdeen at night.
He says to the camera: “The people in the hotel are coming out, they are touching her and they are acting strange.”
At another protest in Perth in August 24, he speaks to a woman who tells him she was confronted by an asylum seeker whilst leaving from her work one evening.
In the same clip, Watt asks an elderly woman at the rally “are you scared in your local town?”.
On September 2, Watt posted a video of a protest held outside Falkirk MP Euan Stainbank’s office on August 30 where he spoke to members of the Pink Ladies Group who were out in force to talk about women’s fears in the town.
Watt listens as concerned mums tell how they aren’t allowing their teenage daughters to go near the area’s Callander Park.
But the fiend was outed as anti-racism campaigners blasted him over his ten-year campaign of violence against women he had previous relationships with.
Perth Against Racism said: “The false narrative of abusers masquerading as women’s saviours has to stop.
“A jury convicted John Watt of assaulting 2 ex-partners during a campaign of violence and abuse.
“Sheriff Paul Crozier told Watt his behaviour towards the women was “quite appalling”.
“In his ‘Bring the Noise’ podcast, he likes to travel around various protests and interview people including women discussing how asylum seekers have made them feel unsafe amongst other things.
“We ask anyone who organises these protests, are they happy to stand shoulder to shoulder with a convicted abuser of women? Are you able to say you truly believe in protecting women and girls?”
A jury found former Butler in the Buff Watt guilty of assaulting his ex Laura Shearer on various occasions between September 2010 and February 2015 during their decade long relationship.
This included holding a terrified Miss Shearer by the neck after snooping in her phone, and throwing water over as she lay in bed her after a night out.
He was also convicted of abusing Amanda Reilly on various occasions between August 2015 and January 2016. The jury heard that during that time, he grabbed Miss Reilly by the hair and dragged her from a house before hurling her down a set of stairs.
In evidence, Miss Reilly described one argument. She said: “John was getting angrier and angrier and he kicked my shoes off my shin, I do not know where he was aiming for but they hit my shin, they cut my leg.
“I said ‘leave me alone, why are you doing this?’ and that I was going home, he shoved me full force and I stumbled back.”
Miss Reilly said after an argument during another night out, Watt “grabbed her by the neck and hair and dragged her” from the flat and “threw her” down stairs outside.
Watt was also convicted of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner towards both women.
He was ordered to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work and a three-year non-harassment order was also granted to prevent him contacting either of his victims.
The Record attempted to contact John Watt for comment.
Perth Against Racism said they extend “solidarity to all women that have suffered from domestic abuse. From mental coercion to physical abuse.”
They added: “We ask anyone that organises these protests if they are happy to stand shoulder to shoulder with a convicted abuser of women, anyone that gets interviewed by him, appears on his channels, anyone that attends his protest. Are you able to say you truly believe in protecting women and girls?”
