CHILD CONTACT BAN FIFE MAN SENT SICK PHOTO TO TEENAGER
A man from Rosyth who was found with a collection of disturbing child abuse images has also confessed to sending a photo of male genitals to an online account he thought was operated by a young boy.Tony Williamson, aged 52, appeared at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court and was registered as a sex offender.
He pleaded guilty to sending a picture of an erect penis via a Kik account with the address [email protected].
In March of the previous year, Williamson was imprisoned after disregarding a court order that prohibited him from communicating with children.
This week, he admitted to taking or creating indecent images of children between February 7, 2018, and October 16, 2020, at his residence on Norval Place.
He also confessed that on August 16, 2020, he intentionally caused a person to view a sexual image.
In a prior case heard at Dunfermline Sheriff Court, it was revealed that Williamson had been invited to a woman’s home where her 11-year-old child was present.
The woman was unaware of the court restriction preventing Williamson from having contact with minors.
Police were called around 2 a.m.
over a noise complaint, and upon investigating the house, officers spoke with Williamson and uncovered the offence.
Defense solicitor Fraser Napier stated, “He has been residing in his home since October and has been struggling with his mental health.
He had been invited to celebrate the woman’s birthday.” Williamson admitted breaching his bail conditions and was sentenced to four months in jail.
Sheriff James Macdonald commented, “This was a clear and intentional offence.”
