A young mother who was stalked and and cornered at her workplace by a convicted rapist and killer on bail for murder has revealed that she lived in fear for her life while he remained free after targeting her. The 31-year-old was forced to carry a panic alarm and is still too traumatised to leave the house by herself having been stalked and propositioned for sex by murderer Cameron Allan. The woman, who chose to remain anonymous, said: 'It doesn't make any sense to me. Why the hell was he actually walking about when he's accused of such a serious crime? 'He was clearly a risk to the public but he was allowed on the streets for years until he was found guilty. I have been terrified to go out of my house since the day he approached me.' Allan was granted bail for the horrific rape and murder of a father-of-three called Calum Simpson in Fife, Scotland. Cameron Allan (pictured) was one half of a gay couple convicted of raping and killing 24-year-old father of three Calum Simpson after spiking his drink He approached the woman within days of his court appearance at a hotel he was staying at in Dunfermline, where she was working as a housekeeper. When Allan started stalking the woman, he made the alarming ­declaration to her that he'd sent photos of her to a friend. 'Everywhere I went he seemed to be there and he kept trying to speak to me,' the woman said. 'We all have safety training so I was aware ­something wasn't right about him but I just tried to ignore it.' According to the woman, Allan didn't want anyone to enter his room but when the cleaners did eventually get access they found it was absolutely filthy. A large bag of sex toys, plates of mouldy food and very few personal effects were found by cleaners when they entered Allan's room. The woman said he didn't have any clothes or toiletries but he did have a bag full of sex toys, leading her to worry what he was planning to do after propositioning her. On February 16, Allan followed the woman into a linen cupboard - the only room without security cameras - while she was working.

The woman walked him out of the cupboard to ensure she was in view of the cameras again, then Allan said he had a question he needed to ask her. The woman said he took out his phone and said he'd been talking to a man on a dating app and proceeded to show the woman a number of sexual, really explicit photos of the man. 'He said, 'I've showed him you and he wants to make a situs porno japan judoantitude with us. He's coming to pick us up at six o'clock,' the woman said. 'I just completely froze. I didn't know if he had been taking pictures of me or had found me on social media but I think he knew straight away he had chosen the wrong person. I went to my manager who phoned the police.' The woman was totally unaware that Allan was awaiting trial for murder and rape and only found out when she later looked him up online after a policeman told her Allan had broken the rules of his bail. The woman feared he may try and replicate the crime he was convicted of with her this time. She also wondered why he was was permitted to use a phone when this meant he had access to dating apps and could endanger anyone he chose to meet up with. Allan pleaded guilty to a breach of the peace charge against the woman but was granted bail again. The woman discovered Allan was still free on her way to meet colleagues at a local pub for a night out when one of them phoned to warn her they had spotted Allan at the venue.  The woman did not realise he wasn't in custody, so she changed her route to work to avoid the chance of him stalking her on her way to work.  The High Court in Edinburgh where Dylan Brister, 27, and Cameron Allan, 21, were warned they face life sentences for the murder of Mr Simpson at Brister's home in Methil, Fife 'Every morning I was nearly having anxiety attacks walking to work because I was petrified knowing he hadn't been remanded. I was so scared that he was going to be waiting.' In July, Allan, 21, and his former boyfriend Dylan Brister, 27, were found guilty of drugging, raping and murdering Simpson, 24. The pair didn't know their victim but opportunistically spiked his drink with a drug when he came to their house with a mutual friend who later left him alone there with the couple. Allan filmed the sex attack on Simpson  and left him for dead at Brister's house in Methil on November 2, 2021. The trial judge, Lord Harrower, told jurors at the trial in July after they unanimously convicted the pair of the sexual assault, rape and murder: ‘The evidence has been of the most harrowing nature that this court has ever had the misfortune to listen to.'  Simpson's mother Sheree previously described her horror at the sight of Allan walking in to court every day during his murder trial and she questioned why he had not been jailed.  Scottish Labour Justice spokeswoman Pauline McNeill said: 'This horrifying case raises serious ­questions about Scotland's bail and release system. 'With victims of crime now waiting years on end for justice due to massive court backlogs, it is ­essential that public safety is protected throughout. 'The SNP government must ensure that its new bail and release laws are fit for purpose and work to keep the public safe.' Allan and Brister appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh on Friday where they were due to be sentenced.  Their lawyers said new ­psychological and social work reports were needed for the pair, claiming they had both experienced trauma as children which the judge needed to know about before sentencing. They could be jailed for life for their crimes and are now due to be sentenced in October.
