John Hutton

Public criminal case information in the UK reveals legal proceedings associated with at least two distinct individuals named John Hutton.

John David Hutton (Dundee, Scotland)

John David Hutton, from Dundee, was convicted of a series of violent assaults against a pregnant woman. The conviction was handed down at the High Court in Aberdeen, examining incidents from 2007. Specifically, he was found guilty of repeatedly punching the pregnant woman in the head and body between February 15 and February 16, 2007, in Dundee. He was also convicted of further assaults between February 20, 2007, and November 7, 2007, where he punched, kicked, knocked the woman to the ground, and stamped on her body. A charge alleging attempted murder of the same woman in 2007 was not proven. Hutton also faced charges related to an incident in 2014 involving a different woman, but he was acquitted of attempted murder in that case, and a separate charge of detaining and assaulting her was not proven. Four other charges were withdrawn at the start of the trial on February 17, 2016. Sentencing for these convictions was scheduled for March 18, 2016, in Edinburgh.

More recently, a John David Hutton has scheduled court appearances at Dundee Sheriff Court. A hearing was listed for May 19, 2026, and another for June 11, 2026, both at 10:00 AM, under reference SCS/2026-016135.

John Hutton (Barham/Mendlesham, Suffolk, England)

John Hutton, a 34-year-old man from Barham (formerly Mendlesham), was jailed for nine years for raping a woman. He was convicted by a jury at Ipswich Crown Court on May 3, 2024, after denying the charge of rape, which occurred in July 2021. The court heard that Hutton raped the woman after walking her home from the Fox pub in Elmswell, where they had met on a night out. The victim reported being unable to move during the assault and later recalled feeling sick and unable to walk properly, leading her to believe her drink had been spiked. Toxicology reports found traces of cocaine in her system, and DNA samples from the victim matched Hutton. He was sentenced on July 26, 2024, at Ipswich Crown Court to nine years' imprisonment, with a minimum of six years to be served in jail. Hutton was also given a restraining order and ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life.

Other Individuals Named John Hutton

It is important to note that Lord Hutton (John Matthew Patrick Hutton, Baron Hutton of Furness), a former Labour politician, chaired the Hutton Inquiry (2003-2004) into the death of Dr. David Kelly. This was a judicial inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Kelly's death and the conduct of the government and the BBC, not a criminal case against Lord Hutton himself. There is no public criminal case information found for Lord Hutton. Similarly, "John Chapel" is a fictional character in a TV series and not a real individual.
