Paedophile back in jail after breaching strict court order

Apaedophile who threatened to “melt the face off ” his teenage victim is back behind bars after breaching a strict nonharassment order.

Brandon Williamson was locked up in 2019 after he admitted sexual activity with under-age girls in Perth and Inchture.

He was sentenced to another eight months detention last year after sending a sickening letter to the mother of one of his victims.

The 21-year-old bragged that he would jump on the girl’s head when he was freed.

Now the young thug has been locked up for another 10 months, after he broke the terms of a banning order put in place to protect his victim and her family – just three days after he was released from jail.

Perth Sheriff Court heard he was caught out when he sent a series of vile Snapchat messages to the girl’s friend.

Williamson appeared via video link from Perth Prison and admitted breaching the order on March 20, by contacting his victim by indirect means.

The charge states that unsolicited messages he sent on social media were derogatory and contained threats against the youngster.

Sheriff Linda Smith told Williamson: “You have an appalling list of previous convictions for a man of your age.”

He was jailed for 10 months.

Fiscal depute Marie Lyons told the court: “At the time of this offence he was residing at a Salvation Army homeless hostel in Perth, having just been released on licence from prison.

“The accused and the complainer were in a relationship for approximately one year in 2018. At this time, the complainer was about 13 or 14 years of age.

“The accused was subsequently convicted of sexual offences and violent assaults against her.

“He served time in prison for these offences. Whilst in prison, he sent a letter to the complainer’s mother, making threats to the complainer. As a result he was sentenced to an extra eight months.”

She said: “The accused was released from prison on March 17. The complainer has a nonharassment order against the accused, which will be in place for five years.

“It states that he cannot approach, contact, or attempt to approach or contact her in any way.”

Mrs Lyons told the court: “At about 10.30am, a friend of the complainer received messages from a Snapchat account which she recognised as the accused’s.”

Williamson wrote that he would “literally” ruin his victim’s life and told the friend to “show your wee pal this”.

He sent a photo of his face with the letters “STD” scrawled across it.

The pal told him: “Stop speaking about her, it’s not fair.”

Williamson responded: “Two years is a long time away from my family. Is that fair?”

Mrs Lyons said: “The witness took images of the messages and sent these to her friend. Following this, police were informed.”

Williamson was arrested days later.

Williamson, who was earlier described as at a “very high risk of re-offending”, was placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely.

Brandon Williamson was sentenced to 10 months in jail.
