| Red Rose Database
Nairn Child Sexual Abuser
In a recent development in ongoing concerns about the conduct of convicted sex offenders, Jason Davidson, a known individual from Nairn, was found to have violated the strict conditions set by the court regarding his interactions with minors and his access to the internet. The incident occurred at his residence on Waterloo Place, Inverness, where police officers conducted an unannounced visit on June 16, 2021, as part of routine checks to ensure compliance with his Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO).
During this visit, authorities discovered that Davidson possessed a smart television capable of connecting to the internet, a device he had failed to disclose to the police. This omission was particularly significant because the court had explicitly restricted his access to the internet, especially in relation to minors, as part of his ongoing supervision. The police investigation revealed that Davidson had purchased the television using a benefit payment that was backdated, a detail brought to light by his defense solicitor advocate Neil Wilson during the court proceedings.
Jason Davidson, aged 24 at the time, has a troubling history linked to sexual offenses involving underage girls. His criminal record includes a conviction from February 16, 2018, when he served time in a young offenders institution. Prior to this, he had already been subjected to a prohibition order issued in February 2016, which aimed to prevent him from contacting minors and accessing the internet, due to the risk he posed of inflicting sexual harm.
His criminal activities included sending sexual messages to four girls aged between 12 and 15, and visiting two of them between September 17, 2015, and May 1, 2016. These actions occurred both before and after the court had imposed restrictions on him. Davidson had invited two of his victims to perform sex acts on him and had offered to send indecent images of himself, though both girls refused his advances. At the time of these offenses, Davidson was only 19 years old and was assessed by social workers as being at maximum risk of re-offending, which led to his being sentenced to 27 months in a young offenders institution.
Following his conviction, Sheriff Gordon Fleetwood imposed a five-year SOPO, restricting Davidson’s access to young girls and the internet, and mandated his registration on the sex offenders register for ten years. Additionally, he was to be supervised by social workers for three years after his release. Sheriff Fleetwood issued a stern warning that any breach of these orders would likely result in Davidson being returned to detention for a significant period.
Despite these measures, Davidson was found to have breached his SOPO by failing to inform authorities about the internet-enabled television. As a consequence, Sheriff Eilidh Macdonald sentenced him to 40 hours of unpaid community work. This incident underscores the ongoing challenges in monitoring and enforcing restrictions on convicted sex offenders, especially those with a history of impulsive behavior and contact with minors.
In summary, Jason Davidson’s case highlights the persistent risks posed by individuals with a history of sexual offenses. His violation of court orders by acquiring and concealing a smart TV capable of internet access demonstrates the difficulties law enforcement faces in ensuring compliance and protecting vulnerable populations. Authorities continue to emphasize the importance of strict supervision and vigilant monitoring to prevent further offenses and safeguard the community.
