Paedophile sent indecent messages to undercover cop

Depraved Wilson, 58, of George Street, Ayr, used the mobile messaging app, Kik , to send repeated communications, which were of an incident and sexual nature, to the girl, called ‘Abbey.’

But the messages were, in fact, received by an undercover law enforcement officer, leading to Wilson’s arrest.

Wilson appeared on indictment at Ayr Sheriff Court on Tuesday, November 12 and admitted two charges.

He pleaded guilty to repeatedly sending indecent communications to a child he believed was 13 via Kik Messenger, messages that were of an incident and sexual nature.

The offence took place between August 20 and August 23 last year, both dates inclusive, at a property in Lochlea Avenue, Troon.

Devious Wilson further admitted a breach of his bail conditions, set out by the court on August 24 last year which prohibited him from installing, or using software called CCleaner to permanently remove files, on a device used by him.

Wilson was found to have broken the terms of his bail in George Street on January 11 this year.

The case was adjourned until November 28 in order for Sheriff Scott Pattison to deal with the matter.

Wilson’s bail was continued.
