WESTGATE TEACHER JAILED FOR CHILD SEXUAL OFFENCES
A disgraced former primary school teacher from Westgate who carried out sexual offences, including raping a 15-year-old girl at a house in Edinburgh.
Briggs, 29, was jailed for five years and six months.
He also subjected a young boy to sexual abuse over a four-year period when the boy was between nine and 13 years old, with offenses happening at addresses in Edinburgh and Millport between January 2002 and 2006.
The court heard that Briggs denied the offences and claimed they never happened.
Judge Lord Woolman sentenced him to register as a sex offender.
Briggs is listed as having worked at Cliftonville Primary School.
The victim, now 26, said she was just 15 when the assault occurred and she finally contacted a children's charity two years ago.
Briggs's career is now over, and he is considered at low to medium risk of re-offending.
