Latest Offenders

A rape victim lured to a secluded area of a Southampton park said her attacker "changed [her] life forever".

The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said she has been given a “life sentence that I did not deserve” after being raped in Palmerston Park.

Rasario Raquel Dos Reis, 27, has been jailed for more than eight years after goading her into the cover of some bushes near Above Bar Street.

His victim was drunk and was only 19 at the time.

In a victim impact statement read out by prosecutor Tom Wright, the woman said: “The weekend that this happened to me was supposed to be a celebration.

“What he has done to me has destroyed my family life. My relationship has ended since this.

“I felt dirty. I drink much more regularly than I used to. I find this comforting and I don’t think about things when I’m drinking.

“I no longer feel safe working alone. I used to walk into town by my own before this point.

“I now feel freaked out if there are a lot of people around me.

“This man has changed my life forever. It is a life sentence that I did not deserve.”

Reis was jailed for eight years with a six-year extended licence period at Southampton Crown Court.

He was also made subject to an indefinite restraining order and must register as a sex offender.

The court heard the victim had been at a party the night before, and in an attempt to clear her head, went for a walk in the city centre at around 6.30am on February 19.

She then saw Reis, who claimed to be waiting for a coach to Oxford, and asked him the time.

The factory worker then “attached himself” to her, Mr Wright said.

He took her to a bench and began to pet her before leading her towards the park and into the cover of some bushes.

The victim, who had been sick less than an hour before, had been wearing her pyjamas and dressing gown and was “clearly intoxicated”, the court heard.

The attack was only stopped when a passer-by noticed what was happening and saw the woman mouth the word “help”.

Police were called and later arrested Reis at a nearby coach station, despite his efforts to change his appearance.

He denied that anything non-consensual had taken place.

Reis, of St Mary’s Street, Southampton later pleaded guilty to rape on the second day of his trial.

Mitigating, Francisca Da Costa told the court her client moved to the UK around a year before this incident from East Timor in Southeast Asia.

He worked two jobs, one in a warehouse packing fish and one in a restaurant.

Ms Costa added: “Though he worked hard in his time in the UK he struggled to make friends because he is one of the few speakers of his native language.”

She said he remembers the woman kissing him on the lips and the incident was “relatively short-lived”.

“He takes full responsibility for his actions. This incident is isolated in my submission and opportunistic.”

But Judge Christopher Parker KC said: “It will have been obvious to you that she was drunk and incapable of caring for herself at that time.

“If she needed anything at all from you it would only have been help. Instead, you took advantage of her.

“If she recovers from this ordeal in her mind it will take a very great deal of time.

“I have no doubt that if you were released any time soon you would pose a significant risk of doing exactly the same thing again to somebody else.”

The judge said Reis will likely be deported at the end of his sentence.

Claire Shawley, Detective Inspector of Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary's specialist rape unit Operation Amberstone, said: “We have all heard in court today the lasting effects that this sickening crime will have on its victim, the likes of which the majority of us will never be able to comprehend.

“I want to acknowledge the courage of the woman involved in this case, both in reporting what had happened and for her support and co-operation throughout our investigation, without which we would not have secured this outcome today."

Operation Amberstone Detective Constable Laura Cook, who led the investigation, said: "This has been a harrowing experience for the victim to have to re-live, but her actions in reporting this have allowed us to take swift action and remove a dangerous predatory man off the streets of Southampton. 

“We are also incredibly grateful for the member of the public for intervening on that day and for staying with the victim until police arrived.

“Our priority is always securing justice for victims, and we worked hard to present a substantial case to the courts, resulting in Reis pleading guilty. I am pleased that he has now been jailed and hope that this result goes some way to helping the victim move forward with her life.”

A ‘violent and emotionally abusive’ rapist has been jailed for more than two decades.

61-year-old Dirk Weissenbruch was found guilty of sexually abusing two females by a jury – and could now spend his final days behind bars.

The defendant, of Bradford on Avon, was convicted of five counts of indecent assaults on a girl under 14 years, two counts of rape of a woman and one count of indecent assault on a woman.

At Salisbury Crown Court on Friday (15 September), he was handed a 24-year term of imprisonment and will remain on the sex offenders’ register indefinitely.

“Weissenbruch was an intimidating man who was physically violent and emotionally abusive towards his victims”, Wiltshire Police detective Laura Barwood said.

Adding: “The abuse has caused them a huge amount of trauma for many, many years and he has continued to put them through pain by taking this case to trial.

“I want to thank his victims who have been incredibly brave and courageous at seeking justice for Weissenbruch’s crimes.”

A paedophile from Derbyshire sent an underage teen money to buy underwear and then got her to send him a photograph of her wearing it.

Derby Crown Court heard how pervert Alex Green messaged the victim from his Instagram account asking to meet him in York where they could stay overnight. The convicted sex offender also messaged a different girl, aged just 11, telling her “you look sweaty, you should take a shower”.

And at the time the 39-year-old was forbidden from contacting anyone aged under 18 due to his previous similar crimes.

Jailing him for two years and four months, Recorder Adrian Reynolds said: “I am not going to give you a lecture because the position in this case is quite straightforward. You were given a chance by way of a community order on the strength of your pre-sentence report in 2021 when you were assessed as being able to be managed in the community.

“When judges give that chance they do so on the basis that, from what they read about you, there’s a realistic prospect that offenders will do their best to deal with their sexual attraction to, in your case, young girls.

“That is why there are things like sexual harm prevention orders and why you get visits from (a specialist offender management team). All of those things are there to try and deal with your risk.

“But that does not take into account what happened behind the scenes where, in your position, you have continued to contact young girls. You are paying lip service to this order and it is quite apparent to me that you have expressed a high degree of deviousness and that means you can’t be trusted.”

Eddie Leonard, prosecuting, said the order was handed to Green in 2018 as part of his punishment for sexual offences against children. She said under its terms he was forbidden from contacting anyone under the age of 18.

The prosecutor said: “This offence came to light because on March 11, 2022, the mother of an 11-year-old girl checked her phone, as she regularly did and on it found a message from this defendant’s Instagram account which were inappropriate including one saying ‘you look sweaty, you should have a shower’. She phoned him but he did not pick up so she sent him a message saying her daughter was only 11.

“On March 17, 2022, police then attended his address and recovered a Samsung mobile and on it were messages he had sent to a 15-year-old girl saying he loved her. It was clear he had also sent her money on two occasions.

“One was just under £50 for her to buy underwear and another for £30. He also requested she send him photos of herself in the underwear, which she did, and he also suggested they meet in York and stay overnight.”

Green, of Stuart Close, Tapton, Chesterfield, pleaded guilty to two counts of breaching a sexual harm prevention order, one of making an indecent image of a child and a fourth charge of sexual communication with a child. Denney Lau, mitigating, said his client, who appeared over a link from Nottingham Magistrates’ Court due to his mobility issues, “was well aware how seriously the court takes such offences”. He said: “He is very realistic about what is going to happen to him.”

As well as the jail term, Recorder Reynolds revoked the existing sexual harm prevention order and handed him a new lifetime one. The defendant will also be on the sex offender register for the next 10 years.

A 37-year-old man has pleaded guilty to sexual communication with a child after an incident in Irthlingborough.

On May 27 this year, Karl Wayne Tulloch, of Russell Street, Kettering, sent sexual messages to a 13-year-old via Snapchat.

Tulloch appeared at Northampton Crown Court on Tuesday (July 25) to plead guilty to the offence and was remanded into custody ahead of a sentencing hearing at the same court on September 18.

Lead Investigator – Detective Sergeant Colin Gibb said: “I’d like to commend this young girl and her family for their support during our investigation. It was very brave of her to report this offence to us and I am glad that Tulloch has pleaded guilty.

“I’d also like to thank the witnesses we spoke to as part of the investigation as well. Their evidence and support of the case was crucial in securing an early guilty plea.”

A sex offender who believes he was wrongly convicted a decade ago failed to tell police where he was staying, a court heard. Following his conviction in 2013, David Nash is required to tell the authorities where he is living but failed to do so.

The 28-year-old admitted failing to comply with notification requirements of the Sex Offenders' Register. Today a judge jailed him for eight months.

Prosecutor Dafydd Roberts told Caernarfon Crown Court that Nash had been convicted of sex offences back in 2013. He was released from prison on August 1 this year.

He was told to go to an office of the probation service and was given an address in Denbighshire where he should live. But he failed to do so and had no fixed address.

He then failed to tell police of his whereabouts every seven days - as required by the terms of his sentence - until police found and arrested him on August 18. Mr Roberts said Nash accepted he was in breach of the notification requirements.

But Mr Roberts said: "He said he was wrongfully convicted in 2013 and he wished to know how to appeal against the imposition of the notification requirements." Mr Roberts said it was Nash's "eighth breach" of those terms.

Sarah Yates, defending, said her client believes he was released from prison into an environment surrounded by drugs which was "detrimental" to his welfare and rehabilitation. It was true he hadn't gone to the accommodation as directed but was living with family and friends.

He should have known about the notification terms but is vulnerable. He has ADHD, cerebral palsy and poor coping skills. At 16 he had been diagnosed with a reading age of a nine-year-old.

The judge His Honour Timothy Petts told David Adam Barry Nash, now of Pool Hey, Stockbridge Village, Merseyside, that he had been convicted of a very serious sexual offence in 2013. He added: "Whatever you feel about the conviction, unless and until that conviction is successfully appealed, you are going to be subjected to the notification requirements.

"And if you don't comply with them you are going to get into further trouble." He said he would be going through a "revolving door".

He said it was the eighth breach and the punishments are steadily increasing.

A sick predator followed a woman in Bradford then subjected her to a horrific sexual assault.

Kieran Neal, 21, attacked the woman as she walked through Bradford city centre in August 2021. Bradford Crown Court heard on Wednesday that Neal had earlier offered the woman £10 to have sex with him, but she refused. Prosecutor Philip Standfast said she had pushed him off but then saw him performing a sex act in the street.

CCTV footage then showed Neal following the woman, who was a sex worker, and performing the sex act again after he had grabbed her breast and put his hand inside her top. He was recognised from the CCTV by a PCSO but Neal denied being the person on the recording when he was arrested.

The court was told is he currently serving a sentence after being recalled to prison and on Wednesday was sentenced again for sexual assault, indecent exposure and a house burglary, which had been committed in the Preston area in September 2021. Recorder Paul Reid said he had a terrible record of offending for his age.

Neal was jailed for 876 days as a "third strike" burglary offender with concurrent sentences of 10 months and one month for the sexual offences. He was also ordered to sign the Sex Offenders' Register for the next seven years.

A gardener who raped two girls has been jailed for 16 years.

John Gosling’s “appalling abuse” on the two girls included raping them as well as other sexual abuse.

Gosling, from Grange Close in Three Bridges, was convicted for 11 offences at Lewes Crown Court on September 14.

The offences, which dated in the late 2000s and late 2010s, included raping a girl under the age of 13 and raping a girl between the ages of 13 and 15.

The court was told how the victims, who are not known to each other, came forward and disclosed the sexual abuse they had been subjected to.

Gosling was told he will have to serve a minimum of ten and a half years before he can be considered for parole.

A Sexual Harm Prevention Order was also imposed, which restricts his access to children, and he will be a registered sex offender for life.

His 11 convictions included assaulting a girl under the age of 13 by penetration, two counts of assaulting a girl aged 13 to 15 by penetration, and charges of attempting to engage girls aged 13 to 15 in both penetrative and non-penetrative sexual activity.

Detective Constable Angela Harvey from the Brighton Safeguarding Investigations Unit, said: “Gosling committed appalling abuse which has had a lasting impact on the lives of the two girls involved.

“I would like to praise them for the courage they showed to come forward and report their experiences to the police.

Alexander Edward Davies of Pavilion Way was sentenced at Portsmouth Crown Court on Friday, September 15. He had admitted breaching his Sexual Harm Prevention Order, three offences of making indecent images of children, distributing indecent images of children, and possessing extreme pornography at an earlier hearing.

Police said Davies was arrested after officers identified a phone that was uploading indecent images of children to the internet. This was found at a family members home and had been hidden. Usage of the device and online activity was a clear breach of Davies Sexual Harm Prevention Order, police said.

Investigating officer PC Gemma Southcott said: Whilst these were not contact offences the breaches of the Sexual Harm Prevention Order are very serious and Im pleased that Davies sentence reflects this.

We take the management of sex offenders incredibly seriously, and invest significant resources into doing everything we can to keep the public safe.

Officers will often make unannounced visits to offenders where they may be subject to an intrusive investigative interview process. This helps us understand an offenders routine, interests and behaviours so we can closely monitor them.

We can also examine their digital devices to ensure they are sticking to the legal requirements imposed on them. These orders are put in place to protect the public, and ensure that individuals do not re-offend.

Where sex offenders fail to comply, as can be seen in this case, they can and will be returned to jail.

David Griffin, 51, was found guilty of making indecent images of a children, three counts of voyeurism, and sexual assault.

He denied the offences – but was unanimously convicted by a jury at Swindon Crown Court. Today (Tuesday), he was sentenced by Judge Jason Taylor.

The defendant, of Grasmere, Melksham, filmed three children using almost undetectable covert cameras and sexually abused another.

One of Griffin’s victims said he was left suicidal by Griffin’s abuse.

“This is not me, and I never used to be like this… what David has done to me has impacted every part of my life”, he said in a statement read out in court.

Both of Griffin’s other victims also provided impact statements – each describing the adverse effect his abuse has had on them.

Andrew Stone, defending, said “prison will go so much harder for him than it would for a young man”.

He added that Griffin “expressed to me deep remorse for the harm he’s caused these boys”.

But Judge Taylor interjected: “I cant say remorse jumped off the page at any stage [during trial]”.

Mr Stone replied: “What he regrets doing is causing these men pain and suffering, he is aware of the lasting affect this will have on them”.

Judge Taylor said that the defendant’s abuse was “planned, systematic and targeted”, adding that the defence he provided at trial “would have been laughable if it wasn’t so serious”.

Taking into account that his crimes involved a “significant degree of planning” and that he “clearly attempted to delete the evidence with cleaning software”, Judge Taylor sentenced him to five years and six months imprisonment.

He added: “Prison will not be an easy time for you… I cannot accept you were remorseful.”

Griffin will be placed on the sex offenders’ register for life. He was also slapped with an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

Under the order, he’s prohibited him from having unsupervised contact with males under the age of 18 and acquiring or use video monitoring equiptment in any premises.

Investigating officer DS Jen Jeffcoat-Marsh said: “I would like to pay tribute to the bravery of the victims in taking the hugely difficult step of reporting these crimes to us and supporting our investigation into Griffin.

“We recognise how challenging it must have been for the survivors to help bring their abuser to justice.

“Whilst nothing can take away the emotional impact of the abuse that they suffered, I hope that seeing Griffin jailed today brings them some comfort.”

A Swindon man secretly filmed a woman naked – leaving his victim fearful, a court heard.

50-year-old Mark Bowyer was ordered to register as a sex offender after he admitted committing an act of voyeurism, which left his victim depressed and anxious.

At Swindon Magistrates’ Court today (Monday), in a highly unusual move prosecutor Tom Power failed to outline the case in open court – meaning little is known about the exact nature of the offending.

Having ignored the principle of open justice, Wiltshire 999s made a successful application to the court to obtain documents pertaining to Bowyer’s crime, but they have not yet been provided.

During the hearing, the victim – bravely reading out her impact statement in court – said she has installed security lights around her property and fears what he might be capable of.

She told of how she often stays awake at night and is now medicated for depression and anxiety. She said the incident has had a “significant impact” on her emotional wellbeing.

“I don’t want him to do it to anyone else… I want him to know he can’t get away with this”, she said.

Barrister Rachael Stitt, defending, said that Bowyer offers his apologies to his victim and the court.

She said the the defendant may lose his job if he has to register as a sex offender and urged the bench not to follow the pre-sentence report to avoid that.

A series of character references were provided to the magistrates, including one from his son who described him as a “kind, caring and respectful man”.

A friend said Bowyer is an “inspiration” and told of how he – many years ago – saved a female from domestic violence by shielding her and taking her to hospital, saving her eyesight.

Accepting his “genuine remorse”, magistrates imposed an 18-month community order. He was told to complete 50 rehabilitation activity days and given a mental health treatment requirement.

The defendant, of High Street, Old Town, was also fined just over £1,900 and ordered to register has a sex offender for five years. He’ll also pay a court surcharge.

A paedophile believed he was making arrangements to have sex with a seven-year-old girl in messages with her father but was speaking to an undercover officer. He told the "father" he had previously had sexual activity with an eight-year-old girl, and told him "I really hope it's not a fantasy mate, I'm really up for it".

Jamie Bartlett, 46, of Aberdare, spoke to the undercover officer over the course of two days in October 2021. The officer told the defendant, who used the name "LoveTeenCuties", he was a father of a seven-year-old girl named "Lolly".

A sentencing hearing at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court on Tuesday heard the "father" was offering the fictional Lolly as a sexual object and became involved in a conversation with Bartlett. When asked what he was looking for, the defendant said he was interested in prepubescent children. When told that Lolly was "seven-years-old", he responded "Mate, that's perfect to be honest, tell me more about her".

When asked what he was into, Bartlett said: "Sniffing, perving, a bit of touching". The "father" said he would make an arrangement for "a play date" with Lolly, to which the defendant responded "Oh yes, oh my God. What are the rules". The officer told him he would need to pay in cash, drive to his flat and would need to bring "a toy, condoms and lube".

The defendant was asked what he wanted to do, and he said: "Touching her bum and p****, kissing her." When asked if he had done anything like this before, he said: "Yeah but she was eight LOL". He added: "I really hope it's not a fantasy mate, I'm really up for it." Bartlett also asked: "Is she ok taking c*** in her p**** because I'm not small".

Prosecutor Paul Hewitt said a date was arranged to meet and the defendant asked if Lolly could wear her school uniform. But when the officer tried to contact Bartlett to arrange a meeting place, he stopped communication and didn't respond to messages.

Police attended the defendant's home on January 18, 2022, but he wasn't there. Officers spoke to his then partner and attended his work place where he was arrested. His mobile phone was seized, on which indecent images of children and extreme pornography was discovered.

During his police interview, he admitted he had a sexual interest in children, but claimed he had no intention of acting on this interest. He claimed he believed the conversation with the undercover officer was "a fantasy" and he had ended the conversation when he believed the other person was serious.

Bartlett, of Monk Street, was found guilty of attempting to arrange or facilitate sexual activity with a child, following a trial. He had already pleaded guilty to possession of indecent and extreme images. The court heard he was of previous good character.

In mitigation, defence barrister John Ryan described his client as a "lonely and inadequate person" who had "given in to fantasy". He said the defendant had been described as "kind and loving" by his family and provided help to his mother who had suffered strokes and seizures. Since his arrest, he has been engaging with Stop It Now which was said to have given him insight into the damage his offences cause.

Sentencing, Judge Lucy Crowther said: "You admitted this conversation took place and said it was all fantasy. You admitted you had an interest in children but had no intention of carrying it out. The jury rejected your explanation."

Bartlett was sentenced to a total of three years and three months imprisonment. He was made subject to sex offender notification requirements indefinitely. A hearing to determine the details of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order will be held at a later date.

Description

A man exposed his genitals to schoolgirls and women in the street and from his own home as they walked past. He also filmed women while they were undressing in a changing room and of schoolgirls' reactions as he showed them his penis.

Jordan Scaffe, 28, formerly of Llantrisant, exposed himself on a number of occasions to victims including underage girls. He was confronted by a girl's aunty on one occasion, as he exposed his genitals through his shorts.

A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday heard Scaffe first exposed himself to a woman from a window of his then home in Belvoir Court on April 3. The victim said the defendant was naked and his penis erect. She looked away in shock but when she looked back she could see him bending over and looking directly at her. He then placed his hands on his hips and turned sideways to show his genitals.

On May 1, two 14-year-old schoolgirls and another girl were walking along the street when they saw Scaffe leaning back and placing his genitals on the outside of his shorts. The girls walked away but the defendant followed them for 20 yards. One of the girls called her mother and her aunty who lived nearby came to confront the offender.

She approached Scaffe and took a photograph of him, before saying "Is there any reason why you're exposing yourself in public?" He responded: "I'm not in a public place." When asked why he had flashed her niece, he said: "I didn't know it was out."

The defendant was later identified and arrested by police, who also seized his mobile phone. On the phone were videos stored in a folder entitled "secret". One of the films showed Scaffe filming himself standing in front of the window with an erect penis. He then filmed two girls under the age of 16 as they walked past his house. Prosecutor Peter Donison said the defendant continued to masturbate in clear view of the girls.

Photographs were also found on the phone of three different women in a changing room, who were unknowingly photographed while they were in a state of undress, some wearing underwear and some naked.

Scaffe, now of Pump Square, Bristol, pleaded guilty to six counts of exposure and three counts of voyeurism. The court heard he was of previous good character.

In a victim personal statement, the aunty who confronted the defendant said: "I fear the defendant will travel to my area and seek revenge for me reporting the matter. I feel afraid to walk on that road and will take a more indirect route... I am frightened by any noises I hear and it has affected my daily life."

In mitigation, Adam Sharp said his client wished to apologise to the victims in the case and felt "ashamed and remorseful". He described the defendant as a "dedicated family man" who developed depression after the death of his father at a young age. The barrister said Scaffe and his partner were under pressure due to his children's ill health, and "sought sanctuary" in using porn and steroids. He said his client had maintained employment and a stable home life until his arrest.

Sentencing, Judge Paul Hobson said: "This represents a huge invasion of privacy of the women you targeted. They are entitled to feel safe in changing rooms and feel safe without their privacy being invaded by people like you... You exposed yourself to women and girls, and did this for your own sexual gratification. It was not a one off but persistent behaviour by you over a period of time."

Scaffe was sentenced to a total of 14 months imprisonment. He was also made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, sex offender notification requirements and a restraining order, all to run for 10 years. A deprivation order was made in respect of the seized phone.

A teenage girl has been praised for bravely speaking out to put a “dangerous” child predator who groomed her behind bars.

Johnathon Marren, of Cecilia Road in Ramsgate, committed multiple online sex offences after contacting the youngster on social media. He first started talking to the teenager online in December 2020 before beginning a weeks-long grooming campaign. Marren, 26, spoke to the child sexually, sent explicit photos and even sent a list of “rules” to try to control the victim. 
 
In January 2021, the victim, who is from Warwickshire, approached the police with the support of her family. After telling police what had happened, detectives were able to build a case against Marren and arrested him. When he was interviewed, Marren remained silent and only surrendered passwords to his electronic devices when he was warned it was an offence not to do so.

The 26-year-old was subsequently charged with attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity, causing a child to view images of sexual activity, possessing indecent photographs and attempting to meet a girl following grooming. 

On Wednesday last week, Marren was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison in a hearing at Warwick Crown Court.

Det Con Emma Smith, of Warwickshire Police, said: “Marren is a dangerous predator who sought out a young girl in the hopes of completely controlling her.

“So appalling was his attitude, he believed he could even send a list of ‘rules’ that his victim must follow.

“He was quite happy to bombard a child with thousands of appalling messages but he had nothing to say for himself when my colleague and I brought him in for interview.

“All of us at Warwickshire Police are so proud of the girl for her courage. Thanks to her bravery, and the support of her family, we have been able to gather enough evidence to see the court take Marren off the streets.

“I hope this can serve as a message to other young people who might find themselves in this situation. We will listen and we will help.”

A rapist who attacked a woman as her child slept in the next room has been handed a nine year sentence.

Matthew Nicholson, 36, ignored the woman's refusal to have sex when she repeatedly told him she did not want to. During the attack, the woman said she froze as Nicholson carried on after she told him to stop.

Sentencing, The Honorary Recorder of Preston, Judge Robert Altham, said Nicholson was a dangerous man and handed him an extended sentence of six years custody and three years on licence.

He said: "You knew her child was in the next room. Your victim knew she couldn't fight or cry out and you knew that. It is clear you exploited that situation to get what it was you wanted.

"You knew you had been raping her as you raped her and as she lay there with you next to her, crying. The next day she challenged you by message. In effect you admitted you had raped her by message and voice note, repeatedly apologising and telling her you should have listened to her when she said no.

"With that background it is surprising you ran a trial."

Judge Altham said: "You do pose a serious risk of causing harm to other (women) by the commission of further specified offences. That risk can only be managed by the oversight of your release by the Parole Board and an extended licence period.

"It is a most seriously aggravating feature that you did this knowing her child was only a wall's width away."

Nicholson has been ordered to sign on the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely and been made the subject of a 12 year restraining order to protect his victim.

A paedophile was caught with scores of videos featuring young girls who were unaware theyd been recorded in Aberdeen city centre, a court has heard.

Greig Dow, 41, admitted a series of charges concerning images and videos found on his devices when police raided his home in September 2019.
