HIGH-RISK INVERNESS PAEDOPHILE JAILED FOR TURNING OFF SOFTWARE DESIGNED TO MONITOR PHONE USE
Scott Murray, who has previously been convicted of having indecent images and is banned from having contact with boys under 16, was jailed after tampering with an app meant to monitor his phone use.
He had just been released from prison for breaching a sexual offences prevention order when he deactivated the software on his mobile for nine days.
Inverness Sheriff Court was told the 40-year-old found the restrictions "frustrating".
Murray was jailed for 24 months, backdated to August 28, after he was found to have interfered with the monitoring software, which experts confirmed he could not switch off accidentally.
The breach was a violation of a previous order imposed after he walked into Charleston Community Campus’ changing rooms and watched boys in the showers.
He had previously visited Vue Cinema in Inverness, breaching the order by queuing near a young boy and remaining in the presence of male children inside the cinema, though his solicitor stated he was affected by medication and had no malicious intent.
The court described him as a high-risk sex offender.
