SEX OFFENDER JAILED FOR SICK GAME WITH BLINDFOLDED GIRL (8)
A Fife man blindfolded an eight-year-old girl for a tasting game which turned into a sexual assault.
James Ross pretended it would be harmless fun with the girl trying to name household items without seeing them.
He took the child to a bedroom, turned the lights off, put a blindfold on her and played a sick guessing game called ‘touch it and taste it’.
During the game, Ross took out his penis claiming it was a banana.
Ross, 42, of Lilac Path, Glenrothes, was found guilty after a trial at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court last month and returned there for sentencing today (Tuesday).
He was convicted of a charge that between 1st September 2018 and 4th December 2019, at an address in Glenrothes, he sexually assaulted a girl and caused her to participate in sexual activity.
He blindfolded her and induced her to touch and masturbate his penis.
The court was told Ross still denies any involvement.
Sheriff Robert More told Ross, “As well as planning, there was a significant degree of deception.”
He went on, “You blindfolded her for her to guess innocuous household items.”
The sheriff added, “It can be anticipated that the psychological impact on her will be significant and lasting.”
Ross has previous convictions for road traffic offences but nothing analogous.
The sheriff jailed Ross for 15 months and put him on the sex offenders register for 10 years.
There was a commotion in the public gallery where a large number of people had attended for the sentencing. There was loud shouting towards Ross as he was led away.
