Pervert sent back to jail

A horrified mother had to call the police after she found her ex-partner was regularly taking her three-year-old daughter to a drinking den filled with convicted sex offenders.

The details emerged at a court case against Nathan Gray, who has been jailed for 11 months for breaching a sexual offences prevention order that banned him from any contact with children under 16.

Gray, 27, was given the order after serving an 18-month jail term in 2014 for having sex with a 14-year-old girl he met on Facebook.

But just five months after being placed on the order – and with police concerned about his connections with other sex offenders – Gray was repeatedly in contact with the child, who cannot be named for legal reasons.

The child’s father – who is separated from her mother – was allowed regular contact with the child but repeatedly – between eight and 11 times – took the child to Gray’s flat.

Gray, 27, of Arklay Street, Dundee, pleaded guilty on indictment to breaching a sexual offences prevention order and behaving in a threatening and abusive manner at Dundee Police HQ after he was detained by police on November 18 last year.
