The boss behind the infamous Willy Wonka experience has admitted charges that he was a sex pest who sent racy photos to a woman and bragged about being a ‘wolf’.

The court heard William Coull, 36, stalked his victim at a property in the Darnley area of ​​Glasgow between March 26 and July 2.

Coull’s harassment campaign comes amid the fallout from his infamous Willy Wonka Experience in February this year, but went viral worldwide due to the shockingly bad appeal.

The families had paid £35 in advance for tickets for the event, which was held at a warehouse in the Whiteinch area of ​​the city and was described as disastrous, poorly prepared and of poor quality.

The ‘immersive’ experience was so chaotic that police were reportedly called after angry parents expressed their anger.

The convicted former charity worker, who runs the House of the Illunmanati, which organized the show, was forced to close the ‘experience’ amid claims the event reduced children to tears.

Coull pleaded guilty to engaging in abusive criminal conduct.

He was placed on the sex offenders register for a year after his behavior was deemed to have a ‘significant sexual element’.

Coull was also today sentenced to 120 hours of unpaid work and placed on probation for a year.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard Coull had suffered “deterioration in mental health” due to “significant media attention”, which included a documentary about him.

He was accused of sending messages to his victim from a fake Facebook account in March.

He continued to message the woman on Snapchat and WhatsApp and used ‘sexual language’.

Coull referred to her as ‘sexy’, ‘candy lips’ and ‘my little charm’.

Coull continued to send her photos of herself in her underwear, as well as more intimate photos that she ‘didn’t ask for or ask for’.

Mr Mathieson added: ‘Coull sent a snapchat of himself holding his belt asking: ‘Do you want me to do more?’ posted the title.

‘Then she sent a photo in her underwear and said: ‘Do you want me to go further?’ put the title.

The messages were ignored and Coull later sent a Snapchat showing her stripping off her clothes until she was wearing only her underwear.

The woman asked Coull to stop sending messages, but they continued.

On July 2, Coull sent a Snapchat saying: ‘I am the wolf and you are my prey, I will catch you.’

The matter was later reported to the police and Coull, from the Anniesland area of ​​the city, was arrested.

Neil Stewart, defending, told the sentence: ‘He was distressed by the trial and will never do anything of the kind again.’

Sheriff Mark Maguire said Coull had exceeded the detention threshold but was able to provide an ‘alternative to detention’.

He said: ‘He told you to stop using sexual language and yet you sent intimate images and alarming messages.

‘He told you to stop but you didn’t give up and sent further threatening messages.

‘Frankly, it is unlikely that this case would have been included here if it had not been for the sexual nature of the material sent to the victim, and it is quite possible that it would not have constituted a criminal offence.’

The case comes after Coull admitted in a documentary broadcast on Channel 5 earlier this year that the consequences of his Willy Wonka experience had devastated his life.

‘My life has turned upside down. “My life is ruined,” he said in a documentary. about the fake incident.

He said he received “hundreds” of messages online saying he should end his life, that he was a “devil”, a “bad man” and even a terrible father.

In his own defense Mr Coull said: ‘I was hoping for a joyful and happy occasion. ‘I wanted people to experience happiness.’

One parent said in the documentary: ‘I really hope he is okay and I fear for his mental health and state of mind.’
