PERTH SEX ATTACKER BARRIE CAMERON JAILED FOR ASSAULTS
A sex attacker who preyed on a young woman as she walked home alone in Perth has been jailed for more than two years.
Sinister stalker Barrie Cameron forced himself on his victim after tailing her down a city centre street, telling her “I really fancy you” and saying: “I’ll give you my phone if you think I’m weird”.
Perth Sheriff Court heard 45-year-old Cameron sexually assaulted a second woman he met at a supermarket.
The terrified victim was forced to flee his flat, abandoning her groceries, after he kissed and fondled her without her consent.
Cameron, who has convictions for stalking, theft and racially-aggravated conduct, admitted sexually assaulting the two women – both in their 20s – in January and July 2021.
He was jailed and placed on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years.
Sheriff David Hall told him: “These were serious incidents.
“Both were committed when you were on a community payback order for another sexual offence.” The sheriff noted his “bad criminal record” and a “directly analogous” conviction from 2020, when he stalked and sexually assaulted a woman who had tried to support him during lockdown.
The sheriff said: “You approached a woman you did not know in the hours of darkness and subjected her to a sexual assault that must have been extremely frightening.
“And in the second incident, you behaved in a manner that was unacceptable.
“You assaulted her and kept on assaulting her.
“There is no alternative to a custodial sentence.” Cameron was jailed for 15 months for the first offence and 10 months for the second.
