Indecent behaviour charges admitted

A serial sex offender who had groups of young boys round to his house before twice showing youths vile pictures of himself was behind bars yesterday.

Lee Redgrave – a registered sex offender who has two previous convictions for lewd, indecent and libidinous practices and behaviour – has been locked up after showing boys aged 14 and 15 the sick images of himself.

One was a video of Redgrave carrying out a sex act on himself, while the other showed a piercing on his private parts.

In both instances the victims were at his house in St Andrews with friends when he showed them the images.

Depute fiscal Stewart Duncan told Dundee Sheriff Court: “The accused admitted to police having the images on his phone but said he had never shown them.

“He has been subject to a sexual offences prevention order since November 2 2012 for a period of 10 years.

“It prohibits him from having deliberate contact with any child under the age of 16.”

Redgrave, 35, a prisoner at HMP Perth, pled guilty on indictment to two charges under the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act committed in September last year, and one of breaching a sexual offences prevention order on the same dates.

Sheriff Lorna Drummond deferred sentence for social work background reports and remanded Redgrave in custody.
