A teenager who admitted having unlawful sex with a 14-year-old girl was fined £200 at Inverness Sheriff Court yesterday.
Jamie Galloway, 19, was also put under social work supervision for three years and placed on the sex offenders register for the same period.
Galloway, formerly of India Street, Inverness, and now living at Torrin, 5 Torvaig, on Skye, admitted a number of charges at a previous hearing and appeared for sentence yesterday.
As well as having unlawful sex, Galloway pleaded guilty to breaches of his special bail conditions, when he had unsupervised contact with two underage girls at a caravan on the island.
Galloway also admitted culpable and reckless conduct by providing a legal high to a young autistic boy to the danger of his health.
Defence lawyer Roger Webb said Galloway knew the girl from school and they formed “a deeper and unwise relationship”. He said his client was 18 at the time, on June 7 last year.
In relation to the bail contravention, Mr Webb explained his client had gone to a party and the two underage girls had showed up.
“He failed to remove himself as he should have done. He was also smoking the legal high and the boy asked to ‘give it a go’.”
