Jailed for sending sexual messages
A 35-year-old man who admitted sending repeatedly social media messages of a sexual nature to a woman has been jailed for seven months at Selkirk Sheriff Court.
Willum Webster had previously pleaded guilty to the offence which happened at an address in Edinburgh in January 2014.
Sentence had been deferred to await the outcome of his trial when he had been accused of sexual offences involving two females at an address in Galashiels in 2018, for which he was subsequently acquitted.
Sheriff Robert Fife discounted the prison sentence from nine months to seven months to reflect the guilty plea and made Webster, formerly of Galashiels and gave an address in Edinburgh, subject to the notification requirements of the Sexual Offences Act for 10 years.
