A Nairn teenager who defied a court order banning him from contacting under-age girls will be sentenced next month.
Police successfully applied for a prohibition order on Jason Davidson, 19. in February 2016 because it was considered there was a risk that he would inflict sexual harm.
But Inverness Sheriff Court was told yesterday that Davidson had social media interaction and personally visited four different girls, aged between 12 and 15, both before and after the ban was imposed.
He pleaded guilty to sending sexual messages to the girls, visiting one at an address in Nairn and another at Nairn campsites between September 17, 2015, and May 1, 2016.
Fiscal depute Roderick Urquhart said: “The Chief Constable of Police Scotland successfully applied to this Court for an interim Risk of Sexual Harm Order on 29 February 2016, with the full order granted on 7 April 2016 and varied on 14 June
2016 prohibiting contact with children under 16 years.”
Mr Urquhart said Davidson had invited two of the girls to perform sex acts on him, and offered to send indecent images of himself. Both of them refused his advances, Mr Urquhart said.
The offences took place on various occasions between August, 2015 and December, 2015.
Sheriff Margaret Neilson heard that within weeks of the court instruction being granted, Davidson was in the company of a 15 year old girl at a caravan site in March, 2016, and was arrested by police.
A few weeks later, in April, he was again with the girl at a Nairn campsite, fleeing when he saw a police car, Mr Urquhart went on.
In May, 2016, he went to see the girl again at a house in Nairn before police, who had been contacted, arrived. Mr Urquhart said he was traced the following morning.
Then almost a year later between April and May last year, he admitted being in contact with a 12 year old girl on “Snapchat.”
Defence solicitor Ken Ferguson said he would reserve his comments until February 16 when a background report had been prepared.
