A teenager recorded himself having sex with a 15-year-old girl and then uploaded it to Snapchat, a court has heard.
Stuart Gerrard, 18, appeared in the dock at Aberdeen Sheriff Court and admitted to recording the girl while having consensual sex last year.
His victim only found out the audio recording was on social media when Gerrard told her: “I can ruin your life with one video”.
Fiscal depute Kirsty Martin said the sexual encounter between the pair took place at a friend’s house, with Gerrard placing his phone next to the bed.
Gerrard, who was 17 at the time of the incident, then went on to call the girl a “slag” and “whore”.
He then told her he could “ruin your life with one video”, adding: “go look at my story” on Snapchat.
The girl and her cousin then went through Gerrard’s Snapchat profile until they found a video recording with a black screen.
“The sound was two people having sexual intercourse,” Ms Martin said.
“The complainer identified herself from the video.”
The girl then told her mum about what happened and the police were contacted.
Burst her lip in phone assault
Ms Martin also recounted an incident where Gerrard assaulted the girl by throwing a phone at her face on February 26 2022.
“The complainer was at her cousin’s home address and they were all socialising and consuming alcohol,” she said.
“She was watching a Snapchat story involving a male on her phone when the accused angrily said: ‘Who’s that?’
“She advised that she was merely looking at someone’s Snapchat story.
“The accused demanded to see her phone, which she refused.”
Ms Martin said Gerrard then handed her his phone but she handed it back.
“The accused then shouted ‘have it!’ and threw his phone in the direction of the complainer causing the phone to strike her on the head,” she said.
“Her lip was cut as a result. The accused later apologised for his actions.”
Gerrard pleaded guilty to one charge of engaging in a course of behaviour that was abusive and recording a sexual encounter between them.
Defence agent Lisa Reilly requested that background reports be carried out on her client.
Sheriff Margaret Hodge deferred sentence on Gerrard, of Knockie Road, Turriff, until next month in order for a criminal justice social work report to be carried out.
