Sex offender’s extra jail time

-

at customers.

The police were called and he was arrested shortly afterwards and taken to Perth Police HQ.

Depute fiscal Matthew Kerr said the accused had been made subject to the notificati­on requiremen­ts of the Sexual Offences Act following a conviction at Forfar Sheriff Court on July 16, 2018.

Sentence was deferred on that offence but it later emerged that he had failed to notify police of his current address after being freed from a Perth Prison jail term in September.

Detectives went to his home in Fechney Park on September 3 in an unsuccessf­ul bid to trace him.

They returned the following day but got no reply at the door.

About two hours later they went back with a joiner to gain entry but the accused appeared from inside his flat.

Solicitor David Holmes described the accused’s comment to the woman as “boorish.”

He had been attacked in 2017 and had received emergency surgery in hospital. He was undergoing ongoing neurologic­al assessment but had been drinking to excess.

Mr Holmes added: “Prior to this he attempted suicide - and a number of attempts have been recorded.”

The two offences led to Brazkiewic­z being jailed for a total of 20 weeks.

He admitted that on September 3 and 4, 2018, he failed to notify police of his address within three days, as specified under the sexual Ooffences legislatio­n.

The Café Kiza incident, when he made a sexual remark to the woman, took place on January 18 this year.

He was subject to five separate bail orders at that time.

The 20 weeks will be served at the end of a six-month jail term imposed on Brazkiewic­z last week for intimidati­ng staff and customers at a city supermarke­t and stealing alcohol.

The accused was previously fined £540 at the Perth court for making inappropri­ate comments to a probationa­ry police officer who was on solo duty outside a flat below his home.

He told her she should have been wearing a bikini or a nurse’s uniform and that she was “too pretty” to be a policewoma­n.

The officer was left feeling scared and intimidate­d after he bombarded her with comments about the size of her chest.
