FIFE PAEDO WHO ASKED GIRL (9) FOR NUDE PICS BLAMES HER PARENTS
A FIFE sex offender, who asked a nine-year-old girl for nude photos, has blamed her parents for not keeping an eye on her online conversations.
Ian Fraser, 44, claimed he was just 15-years-old, told the girl “I like boobs” and requested naked images from her.
He later blamed her parents for not being aware of what she was doing online.
Fraser, of Links Street, Kirkcaldy, appeared in the dock at Dunfermline Sheriff Court and avoided a jail sentence.
He admitted that on 4th February at his then home in Crossford, he communicated indecently with a young girl via Snapchat.
He also admitted that between 2nd November and 15th November at Morar Road, he was in possession of an indecent photograph of a child.
The court was told that a nine-year-old girl from the West Midlands area had started a conversation with Fraser on Snapchat.
She said she was 13 and Fraser claimed he was 15-years-old.
The conversation quickly became sexual with Fraser telling the girl “I like boobs”.
He also told her she would have to “show your t*** and face to see my d***.”
The girl did send a photo of her face and Fraser continued the conversation asking for “face and boobs please”.

The next day West Midlands Police began an investigation and traced the indecent messages to Fraser.
A search warrant was executed at his home and an indecent video of a boy aged from 10-12 years old was found on his phone.
Defence solicitor Lucy Martin said her client was “deeply ashamed” of his actions.
However, Sheriff Mark O’Hanlon noted from the social work reports that Fraser had blamed the girl’s parents for not been more aware of what she was doing.
“It’s not just one comment, it’s all the way through. He is minimising and deflecting. He had been told the girl’s age and persisted.”
The sheriff told Fraser his offences were “appalling”. He added, “The problem is not the child, it’s you.”
He imposed a community payback order with two years of supervision and 200 hours of unpaid work. Fraser was also put on the sex offenders register for five years.
