A WOMAN who was sexually abused as a child told a court how she only realised it was “not normal” after having sex education at school.

Her abuser, Kevin Tyler, 53, of Heneage Road, has been jailed for nine years after being convicted of attempting to rape the girl between 1993 and 1997 and three counts of indecently assaulting her.

He was also charged with five counts of indecently assaulting a boy of the same age, during the same period, although a jury subsequently cleared him of three of the allegations.

Neither victim – now both adults – can be identified for legal reasons.

David Gordon, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court six of the eight indecent assault charges were “specimen charges” which represented examples of on-going abuse rather than specific incidents.

The jury of seven men and five women deliberated for more than six hours before returning all their verdicts.

The court heard the abuse had mainly taken place at Tyler’s home in Heneage Road.

Mr Gordon said Tyler had individually taken the children into his bedroom where he encouraged them to undress – either entirely or partially – disguising his intentions as a game.

On one occasion, he attempted to rape the girl but was unsuccessful and carried out a sex act.

He went on to perform similar acts on a “handful” of occasions over a period of two years.

The abuse only stopped after the girl received sex education at secondary school and realised it was “not normal”.

The next time Tyler attempted to abuse her, she said: “No, leave me alone, it’s not right,” and it never happened again.

Mr Gordon told the court that, during the same period, Tyler had also abused the boy, encouraging him to simulate sex and assaulting him.

Tyler was described as a “feeble-minded man” who had never moved out of his childhood home.

Mr Gordon told the court Tyler lived in “squalor” with no bathroom or inside toilet and that he relied entirely on his mother, Shirley Tyler, to cook and clean for him.

Tyler’s defence involved claims that the allegations had been made in an attempt to gain compensation from him after a small windfall.

The victims came forward, however, before he was made aware of the inheritance.

Tyler was given a 15-year sexual offences prevention order and was told to register as a sex offender for life

A Golders Green man who repeatedly sexually assaulted a girl over a period of six years has today been jailed for three years.

Menachem Levy, 41, of Princes Park Avenue, was found guilty in May of indecent assault of a female under the age of 16 following a trial at Wood Green Crown Court.

Levy first targeted the victim, who was 14 when the abuse began, when he visited her family home in Hendon in December 1999.

He then subjected her to a series of sexual assaults at other locations, including Levy’s home address, until December 2005.

Throughout the ordeal, Levy constantly told the girl that she was to blame for the abuse and that if she told anyone she would get into trouble.

Both Levy and the victim are members of the Orthodox Jewish community.

In September 2010 the victim wrote Levy a letter asking him to openly admit and apologise to her in front of a Rabbi and her family but Levy refused to do so.

The victim found the courage to report the crimes to police in May 2011 and detectives from the Metropolitan Police launched an investigation.

Levy was arrested at his home in July 2011 and was charged in April the following year.

Det Con Alistair Woods, from the Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command, said: “The victim has shown a tremendous amount of courage to come forward and give a detailed account of the abuse she suffered by Levy.

“No one should suffer in silence – I would urge anyone who is a victim to come and speak to us and let us help you.

“Specially trained officers will support you, and thoroughly investigate your claims.

“Menachem Levy abused his victim on numerous occasions – he also abused the trust of a close-knit community.

“This sentencing demonstrates that the courts will prosecute those who prey on vulnerable people, irrespective of their background or status.

“I hope today’s sentencing can offer some kind of closure to the victim and her family.”

A FORMER teacher who worked in Runcorn for decades has pleaded guilty to a further string of sex offences against boys, including attempted rape and making indecent images of a child.

David Fearnley, who used to teach maths at The Grange Comprehensive, gave guilty pleas to all but two of the 25 charges levelled at him at Chester Crown Court.

The convicted sex offender admitted to 15 counts of indecent assault against a male aged under 16 years, one of attempted rape and seven of making indecent photographs of a child.

He pleaded not guilty to possession of extreme pornographic images and possession of an indecent photograph of a child.

In a separate court case in 2011, Fearnley, 61, of , Lime Avenue, Weaverham, was convicted of abusing children.

At that time the court sentenced him to a seven-year sex offences order and a three-year supervision order. He was also ordered to pay £1,500 in costs.

He had pleaded guilty in August 2011 to five counts of indecent assault against children as young as primary school age.

Warrington Crown Court heard then that he plied his victims with sweets, cash, and sometimes alcohol and pornography before assaults took place.

Judge Nicholas Woodward, presiding in 2011, said Fearnley’s punishment amounted to a suspended sentence but said the defendant could not go to prison because of changes in the law since the offences took place.

Fearnley will return for sentencing on Monday, July 22, to face justice for his latest string of admissions.

Early in 2011 the ex-Royal Navy Reserve officer was suspended from his position as maths teacher at The Grange Comprehensive, where he had taught for 40 years.

The school told the Weekly News that it carried out a ‘very active’ safety review following his conviction.

The earlier offences did not take place at the Grange and did not involves pupils and there is no suggestion the later allegations were at the school or involved its students.

Grange Comprehensive teacher “is a broken man”, court hears

A VETERAN teacher and commander in the Royal Navy Reserve who admitted indecently assaulting a boy and a girl in a series of incidents dating back to 1995 has escaped jail.

Pervert David Fearnley, aged 59, who taught maths and personal and social education at The Grange Comprehensive in Runcorn for 35 years, was given a three year community rehabilitation order, sexual offences prevention order for seven years, and £1500 costs.

Sentencing him at Warrington Crown Court on Friday, Judge Nick Woodward warned him that if he fails to adhere to the stringent sex offenders’ rehabilitation programme, he will face custody.

Judge Woodward, said: “A senior school teacher and officer in the Royal Navy Reserve, you were seen in the community as a person of responsibility and so you were trusted to look after these young children.

“It is clear you took advantage of them to indulge your sexual attraction to these children.

“This may remain with them for the rest of their lives.

“It is very damaging to them.”

He indecently assaulted the victims, a brother and sister, when he lived in Runcorn with his ex-wife, three daughters and step son.

The victims were not pupils and the assasults did not happen at the Grange School.

Divorced dad-of-three Fearnley, of Lime Avenue, Weaverham, admitted five specimen charges of indecent assault, between 1995 and 2003.

The girl, now aged 30, was only 10, when the offences started in 2000 and continued for three years.

Her brother, now aged 21, was 14, in 1995, when his abuse started and it lasted for two years.

Simon Medland, prosecuting, said the victims complained in 2002, but, despite a police investigation, no charges were brought, but Fearnley’s marriage broke down.

The case emerged again recently when the girl overheard children talking about Fearnley facing a disciplinary hearing at school. He was warned about his language and conduct after a school enquiry.

The girl contacted the police.

Mr Medland said Fearnley had preyed on both children, whilst they were home alone after school.

He said: “He gave the boy treats, sweets, sandwiches and money, occasionally alcohol. He showed him pornography and warned him not to tell his mother.”

Mr Medland said no naked contact was made during the indecent assaults, it was always over clothing.

The girl said Fearnley used to tickle her and touch her tummy.

Mr Medland, said: “His hand roamed up under her shirt and he squeezed her breast. He touched her breasts, legs and thighs.”

Both victims say the abuse has had a long term effect on them.

Defending, Nina Graham, said: “He is a broken man. The career he worked so hard for is gone. He will be dismissed as a result of his guilty pleas.

“His marriage is gone, the relationship with his two eldest daughters is gone, his health is gone and his reputation is gone.”

She said Fearnley had been diagnosed with Bells Palsy two years ago.

“This is a severely debilitating illness which causes partial paralysis of the face, inhibits speech and dented his confidence.”

She said Fearnley was a dedicated teacher and had helped to improve pupils’ performance and achievements at The Grange, which she described as “a challenging school”.

He had volunteered for many years as an officer with the Royal Navy Reserve, “an example of his integrity”.

She said he will receive a lump sum from the school but will lose “many many thousands of pounds” in his pension because of his dismissal.

Ex-priest jailed for sex assaults on altar boy

A former priest was sentenced to eight months in jail this afternoon for sexually assaulting an altar boy on a number of occasions in the church sacristy as soon as Sunday mass ended.

Patrick Crowley, aged 52, who is originally from Carrignavar in Co Cork, was a priest in Ballincollig parish church in Cork at the time of the offences which date back to 1988 and 1989.

The altar boy was in sixth class in school and aged around 11.

Crowley now lives at a treatment centre in Cardington, Athy, Co Kildare.

Judge David Riordan described the details of the three counts, to which Crowley pleaded guilty, as vile abuse.

Det Garda Donal O’Connell said, “The offences usually happened after morning mass in the sacristy. He would come up behind the injured party and place his hand inside his top clothes and feel his chest and then put his hand inside his pants and underpants and feel his privates.

“The victim could feel Patrick Crowley’s erect penis rubbing against him at the back. Most of
the incidents happened in the sacristy but there were a number of occasions in the parochial house also.”

While reference was made to multiple incidents, Crowley pleaded guilty to three counts of indecent or sexual assault.

The injured party decided to make a complaint to the gardaí in relation to the matter shortly after his own partner gave birth to a son.

“I felt if what happened to me happened to my son I wouldn’t be able to handle it,” the victim said.

Crowley, who is no longer a priest said, “I think it is horrifyingly sad. I regret it so deeply. Saying sorry is so meaningless, so useless to him (the victim) and his suffering. I will live with his pain and my pain for the rest of my life.”

Crowley pleaded guilty to a similar offence in Ballincollig District Court in 1991, and on that occasion the case was dismissed under the Probation of Offenders Act.

Judge Riordan was concerned to note from a centre for sexual treatment in England that Crowley had to be re-admitted in 1994 after he came to the attention of British police for importuning a minor for sex.

A pensioner has been jailed for 10 years for sex offences against two young girls which came to light after police began investigating him for downloading child porn.

Paul Reid, prosecuting, told Leeds Crown Court yesterday that police became aware Neville John Corbett had been using internet sites, including some file sharing sites and allegedly downloading indecent images of children.

His computer equipment was seized by police. When that became known one of his victims mentioned to her mother she had seen something on Corbett’s computer during a visit to his home.

That led to further questioning of the schoolgirl who revealed Corbett had sexually abused her during a number of visits years earlier, but he had stopped by the time she was seven when he told her she was “growing up”.

Mr Reid said the schoolgirl was extremely emotional describing what the pensioner had done to her, crying uncontrollably. She said she had seen children wearing no clothes on his computer.

Through her evidence police also discovered a second girl, one of her friends, had also been sexually assaulted. When Corbett was questioned by police he said he had stopped because he knew what he was doing was wrong, telling them “I’m not a sexual predator”.

Corbett, 66, of Kingsway, Pontefract, admitted two charges of oral rape and six sexual assaults. Michael Collins told the court that Corbett had never been in trouble before.

He added: “He (Corbett) will lose all his contact with his own children and grandchildren, he will lose his home and has had no contact with any of his friends, one of whom has been a friend for 38 years but who has not communicated with him.

“It is a very bleak landscape for him when he is eventually released.”

Jailing Corbett and ordering him to register indefinitely as a sex offender, the Recorder of Leeds, Judge Peter Collier QC, said: “Until a few weeks ago to all intents and purposes you were an ordinary man in normal family but you were hiding a secret to yourself and had done for a number of years. All of that came out when you were discovered to be downloading internet porn.”

The judge said they were serious offences and the only mitigation was that he had stopped his offences himself and had pleaded guilty.

The court heard the analysis of his computer is ongoing.

Daniel McDougall, 52, a perverted truck driver has been placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register after propositioning two terrified schoolgirls – aged just 11 and 13.

He was standing next to his slurry tanker – used to clear blocked drains – when he approached the girls.

He made the leud remark after offering the youngsters money, causing the girls to run away in horror and raise the alarm.

Paisley Sheriff Court was told the youngsters had been heading for the West End of Paisley and took a stroll down Macdowall Street after leaving a shop in nearby Caledonia Street, around 2pm on a Saturday afternoon in March.

They were looking for a shortcut but discovered that the street came to an end with no route available to cut through, so they turned around and went back.

McDougall was standing “casually” beside his parked truck and said to the children: “Hello, girls – do you want to make some money?”

They initially agreed because they thought he might simply want them to do a chore.

But he shocked them when he followed up the request with a graphic question about oral sex.

The court was told the youngest girl was so frightened she ran away and her pal followed her.

They kept running until they got to a betting shop they recognised, before one of them went to a relative’s house and reported what had happened.

Police were called in and started to search for the vehicle in question, scanning CCTV footage from local businesses’ security equipment.

They found footage that showed the girls with the tanker they described.

A still image was taken from the CCTV which featured the name of the company that owned the vehicle. This firm was contacted and it was confirmed that McDougall was the driver.

He was traced and arrested, and, after being questioned, was charged.

In court, McDougall, of Ladyburn Court, Paisley, admitted intentionally directing a sexually-verbal communication to both girls, asking them if they wanted to make some money before uttering remarks of a sexual nature.

Sheriff Colin Pettigrew told McDougall he would require a detailed background profile and an assessment from the Pathways Project – which deals with sex offenders – before deciding upon an appropriate disposal.

McDougall was told that his name would be placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register, and the length of time for this will be set at sentencing.

He will also be reported to Scottish ministers to ensure disclosure that he is a person who should not be permitted to work with children.

Sentence was deferred until August 6.

TRADING Standards officers investigating a man for illegal sales of tobacco and alcohol found he had 10,450 photos of child abuse.

On his computer David Page had the images – which included 21 movies – of boys, Bristol Crown Court heard. He was also found with two images involving bestiality.

Page, 46, of Woodpecker Drive, Weston-super-Mare, pleaded guilty to two charges of possessing extreme pornography as well as possessing and making indecent photos of children.

Judge Julian Lambert told him such offending stole youngsters’ childhoods.

Jailing Page for 11 months, the judge told him: “The seriousness is that you have indirectly encouraged the abuse of children. The quantity is too large for treatment as opposed to prison. Very great damage has been done to a significant number of children by their posing to produce these sexualised images.”

Page was made the subject of a ten-year sexual offences prevention order, banning him from unchecked internet use. He was told to sign as a sex offender for ten years and his computer was forfeited.

Robert Reid, prosecuting, said Page gave a largely “no comment” interview to police.

Nadeem Aullybocus, defending, said his client had worked throughout his adult life and was otherwise law-abiding. After months of problems at work, which caused him stress, Page found himself jobless and his internet use rose.

Mr Aullybocus told the judge: “He has a number of medical problems. He suffers from hearing loss and a constant ringing in his ears. He has type two diabetes and hyper tension. He has a device which helps him breathe at night.”

The court heard Page found work in a fishing shop in Weston-super- Mare.

Mr Aullybocus said: “He deeply regrets his actions. He started with normal pornography and he does not understand how he progressed. It became a culture of clicking and saving. Most were at level one (the lowest abuse category) and he pleaded guilty at the first opportunity.

A SCHOOL caretaker has been sentenced to 12 weeks in prison after admitting charges of voyeurism and taking indecent images of children.

David Taylor, 34, of Colburn appeared before magistrates at Northallerton today.

Prosecuting, Gill Sandell said the images were of a child, taken with what was believed to be a hidden camera. There were also images of Taylor approaching the device to turn it off.

He had initially been arrested by the police investigating another matter and had his computer seized.

He went back to the police a day later where broke down, said he needed a new life and told officers they would find images on the computer.

Taylor was sentenced to 18 weeks in prison, reduced to 12 weeks because of his guilty plea.

The court was told the offences occurred over  aperiod of several years.

Magistrates chairman Ann Hewitt told the defendent: “These offences are so serious that custody is the only option open to us. We feel there are many aggravating factors.”

She said Taylor would serve half his sentence and sign the sex offenders register for seven years.

He will also be made the subject of a sexual offences prevention order for seven years prohibiting him from having contact with children under 16.

Defending, Amrit Jandoo urged the magistrates to consider a community service order.

He said: He doesn’t minimise his actions, he appreciates the seriousness of this offence. Mr Taylor is thoroughly ashamed of his behaviour.“

Taylor said his marriage was over, his school job was gone and he was receiving medical care after a breakdown.

“His life has fallen apart,” added Mr Jandoo.

Taylor is employed as a caretaker at Le Cateau Primary School inCatterick Garrison.

A spokesman for North Yorkshire County Council said after the hearing: “A member of non-teaching staff in the Catterick area remains suspended after being sentenced to 12 weeks imprisonment concurrently on two charges of voyeurism and the taking of indecent images.

“These offences do not relate to any child at the school or the neighbouring children’s centre.

“Internal procedures will now be taken forward. Child protection remains the county council’s highest priority and all proper child protection procedures and safeguards are being followed.”

An MP claims there is ‘clear intelligence suggesting a powerful paedophile network linked to Parliament and No 10′
There is “clear intelligence” suggesting a historic paedophile ring may be linked to Downing Street and a former prime minister, MPs have been told.

Labour MP Tom Watson alleged a member of a notorious group was connected to a former No 10 aide.

He said: “The evidence file used to convict Peter Righton, if it still exists, contains clear intelligence of a widespread paedophile ring.

“One of its members boasts of his links to a senior aide of a former prime minister, who says he could smuggle indecent images of children from abroad.

“The leads were not followed up, but if the files still exist, I want to ensure that the Metropolitan Police secure the evidence, re-examine it and investigate clear intelligence suggesting a powerful paedophile network linked to Parliament and No 10.”

Speaking at Prime Minister’s Questions in the Commons, David Cameron said it was a “very difficult and complex case” and he was “not entirely sure” to which former prime minister Mr Watson was referring.

The Prime Minister said he would look at the case “very carefully and see what the Government can do to help give” Mr Watson the assurances he wanted.

Pervert ’ashamed’ of extreme and indecent images

POLICE found degrading and humiliating sexual images of children – and others showing women with animals – after searching a man’s computer, a court heard.

Ryan Duell, 31, of Fortuna Way, Grimsby, admitted seven offences of making indecent photographs of children and four of possessing extreme images of people in sexual acts with animals.

Stephen Welch, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court that police went to Duell’s home on July 3 last year and examined his computer equipment.

They found 65 indecent photographs of children, involving young girls, and 53 of extreme images involving animals.

David Lee, mitigating, said all the images had been deleted after being viewed.

Duell did not realise that the animal images were illegal but knew that those involving children were.

Duell had no previous convictions and had worked for 13 years at a local company, including five years as a manager.

He had a wife and a child and his interest in the images developed after his relationship with his wife deteriorated and he suffered emotional problems. They had since split up.

“He is deeply ashamed of what happened,” said Mr Lee.

Recorder Anton Lodge QC told Duell the images showed the “degradation and humiliation of young girls” and had been made by people “far more immoral and wicked” than he was.

The images would “in all probability have undermined the normal lives” of those children.

Duell was given a three-year supervision order, including a sex offender treatment programme. He was given a five-year sexual offences prevention order and was told to register as a sex offender for five years.

A bar worker on the Sex Offenders Register broke a court order imposed on him after he approached a young teenager several times as she walked too and from school.

Stewart Lloyd cycled past the 13-year-old girl, who was in school uniform, then turned round and spoke to her.

The girl was now so frightened she had to be taken to and from school the court was told.

Lloyd, 25, of The Last Orders, Sherbourne Road, North Shore, pleaded guilty to breaching a restraining order.

He was bailed for pre-sentence reports by Blackpool magistrates.

Presiding, Suzan Simpkin told Lloyd: “The victim is particularly vulnerable because of her age and frankly we are concerned about your behaviour.”

Martine Connah, prosecuting, said Lloyd, who was on the Sex Offenders Register, was put on an indefinite restraining order in May last year for an offence of harassing the girl. The order banned him from any contact with the girl.

On June 19 Lloyd rode passed the girl on a bicycle. He then stopped, turned round and the girl said he asked her for a light.

The girl’s mother was in the public gallery to see the case. The prosecutor told magistrates the mother said Lloyd’s behaviour had had a profound impact on her daughter, who was now scared to walk to school alone and had to be escorted there and back.

Kathryn Jamieson-Sinclair, defending, told magistrates her client said it was entirely coincidental he met the girl. He had cycled past and thought his bike handle had clipped her schoolbag, so he stopped and said “Are you all right.”

Lloyd was extremely sorry about the effect the chance meeting had had on the girl.

Phillip House, 59, raped the young girl five times, committed gross indecency against her twice and indecently assaulted her four times, a court heard. A PAEDOPHILE who committed a “catalogue of appalling crimes” against a young girl was jailed for 15 years.

The young girl was psychologically scarred by the abuse and left with feelings of terror, Cardiff Crown Court heard.

House, of Brecon Road, Abergavenny, was convicted following a six-day trial at Newport Crown Court last month.

Judge Philip Richards told him: “I have to sentence you for an appalling catalogue of crimes, 11 in total, to reflect some of the abuse which you committed against her. You dreadfully abused her.

“I have to pass a sentence which deters others from behaving in the same sort of way as you did. I also have too pass a sentence which makes some compensation for all the psychological damage which Iamquite satisfied you did and which caused her feelings of terror.”

Defence barrister, David Pinnell, said in mitigation that his client had been diagnosed with depression a year ago and had been taking medication for it while on remand.

He added that House had suffered ailments including a chest infection and had one half of his lungs removed.

Mr Pinnell said his client had stopped working four years ago because of his health and would need to have hip replacements owing to arthritis, adding he was also due to undergo an exploratory operation for pains on his lower spine.

Judge Richards sentenced House to 15 years for five counts of rape.

He also gave him five years for one count of indecent assault and ten years for three further counts of indecent assault, all to run concurrently.

House was also given four years for two counts of indecency with a child, also to run concurrently.

Judge Richards said he would have to serve half his sentence in prison before he could be released.

House was also barred from working with children for life and made the subject of a Sexual Offences Prevention Order stopping him from coming into contact with children under 16.

Robert Ian Finlay, 53, of Barnes Crescent, East Howe, pleaded guilty to 17 offences committed between January 1 2009 and January 10 this year. A senior education official at Bournemouth Council has admitted making more than 600 indecent images of children.

Nearly 100 images have been described by prosecutors as the “highest level of indecency.”

He will be sentenced on August 16.

Finlay, wearing a smart shirt and tie, admitted all charges during a five-minute hearing before Judge John Harrow.  No details of the offences were given but the circumstances are likely to be outlined at the sentencing hearing.

Indecent pictures of children are rated between one and five with level one images said to be the least serious and level five the most serious.

The charges related to 328 level one images, 23 level two, 156 level three, 86 level four and eight level five.

Judge Harrow warned Finlay he is now a convicted sex offender and must report to police.

Finlay has now been fired from his duties at Bournemouth council and also resigned from a position as a governor at The Bourne Academy in West Howe.

According to his online CV he taught at the Epiphany Primary school in Muscliffe during the 1990s and at Winton Primary school between 1994 and 2004, where he was the school’s ICT co-ordinator.

Jane Portman, Executive Director for Adults’ & Children’s Services said: “This has been a difficult time for all those in Children’s Services and many in the wider Council, with staff genuinely shocked and stunned that one of their own colleagues has committed such serious crimes.

“We have robust recruitment processes in place at the Council and full background checks, including Criminal Records Bureau disclosures, are made on any individual coming to work in Children’s Services. The case was no different with this individual, who came back with a clean record.

“As soon as the matter was brought to our attention Mr Finlay was immediately suspended from his post. He was subsequently dealt with through to the Council’s disciplinary proceedings and been dismissed.

“The Council remains committed to the safeguarding of our children and young people and continues to work closely with the Police and other agencies on investigations to root out all activity which places children at risk.”

Carl Leech sexually abused the girl when she was aged between 10 and eleven and offered her mobile phone credit to keep quiet, Stafford crown court heard. He was jailed for 12 years for raping Rugeley girl.

A MAN who raped a young Rugeley girl three times was jailed for 12 years.

Mr Anthony Potter, prosecuting, said the victim was too scared to tell anyone at the time, but finally plucked up the courage in March this year with a text message to her mother.

Police arrested Leech on 10 March this year, when he denied all the allegations and only pleaded guilty on the day he was due to stand trial.

Leech, aged 43, recently of Cambrian Street, Aberystwyth, admitted two charges of anal rape and one of vaginal rape.

Along with the jail sentence, Recorder Mr Simon Draycott QC also put Leech on the sex offenders register for life and banned him from working with children indefinitely.

The offences happened at a house in Rugeley between September 2008 and July the following year.

Mr Potter said Leech would order the girl to take off her clothes and after raping her told her not to tell anyone or she would be in trouble. He also promised her credit for her mobile phone if she didn’t tell her mother.

Mr Tim Pole, defending, said: “I concede he is going to get a relatively long sentence.”

Clive McMahon, 53, admitting touching the schoolgirl, who was known to his daughter, as she waited in South Street, Perth on February 1. The hairdresser groped a 14-year-old girl as she waited at a bus stop with her friends.

On Monday, Perth Sheriff Court was told the girl and her friends were shocked when McMahon carried out the attack.

Fiscal depute Jim Eodonable told the court: “The complainer and her friends were at the bus stop with the accused.

“They could be described as casual acquaintances as the complainer knows his daughter. They had bumped into each other and walked to the bus stop.

“She formed the opinion that he was drunk. He said goodbye and leaned in to give her a hug with both of his arms over her shoulders.

“The complainer wasn’t comfortable with this but didn’t do anything to shrug the hug off. He then stopped the embrace.

“As he was moving away one of his hands took hold of one of her breasts. It was for a sufficiently long time that two of her friends saw what happened. They were shocked.”

McMahon, from Scone, admitted sexually assaulting the 14-year-old girl and has been placed on the sex offenders register. He will be sentenced at a later date once reports have been prepared.

Adam Nowicki collected a stash of almost 12,000 pictures and more than 700 videos over the course of more than four years. He’s a joiner who distributed child abuse images and videos to more than 160 people across the world has been told he faces a “lengthy” jail term.

He then stored them on his computer in a folder that allowed paedophiles across the globe to access them. Dundee Sheriff Court heard that Nowicki had accepted 162 requests from other web users to access the folder.

Fiscal depute Douglas Wiseman added that of the huge haul of pictures and videos found, 1683 pictures and 397 videos were at level four of the scale used to measure such images, depicting sexual abuse of children by adults.

Meanwhile, 211 of the images and 52 of the videos were at the top level, level five, including images of sadism towards children.

Sheriff George Way told Nowicki that a “lengthy custodial sentence” was likely.

Nowicki, 26, of Dens Road, Dundee, pleaded guilty on indictment to charges of downloading and distributing indecent images of children between February 1, 2008 and June 30, 2012.

Paul Parker-Smith, defending, said: “He placed these images in a folder on his computer which can and has been accessed by other persons. It was a passive sense of distribution.”

Sheriff George Way deferred sentence and released Nowicki on bail with conditions that he has no contact with children and does not access the internet.

He said: “You have pled guilty to distribution of a significant number of level five images and nothing other than a lengthy custodial sentence is likely to follow.”
