Ex-RAF man made woman ‘crush’ babies

A“high risk” former serviceman who incited an Angus woman to send him videos of her “crushing” two babies for his sexual pleasure faces being monitored for life.

Andrew Kerr, 36, posed as a stuntman on Facebook and promised Gemma McFee would be paid to share the clips.

Sentencing on Kerr was remitted to the High Court to assess his suitability for a lifelong restriction order, meaning he could be subjected to conditions and monitoring for life.

Dundee Sheriff Court heard Kerr was assessed by a psychologist as being among an “exceptional few” who pose such a high risk of reoffending.

Forensic psychologist Dr Lorraine Johnstone concluded Kerr poses a potentially fatal risk.

Kerr, of John Street, Dunoon, claimed he was working for a film company.

Over four days in June 2018, Kerr made contact with McFee claiming he was working for a film company and asked her to carry out the abuse of children, including sitting and standing on them.

Military officers caught up with him and also uncovered child abuse material in his room.

He was discharged from the RAF.

Prosecutor Kirsten Letford said: “He gave her detailed instructions and asked her to send him recordings of the assaults. She would be paid for the clips.”

She sent seven clips. The children could be heard giggling, then screaming, in footage played to the court.

In September McFee, of Angus, was ordered to perform 200 hours of unpaid work, placed on a tag for eight months with three years of supervision.

Sheriff Jillian MartinBrown ruled the 28-yearold former nursery assistant had been “exploited” by Kerr.

Kerr pleaded guilty to taking or permitting to be taken, indecent images of children.

On various occasions between April 7 and 22 2017 in Elgin, Kerr incited another woman into assaulting a child by sitting and standing on them.

He also admitted inciting McFee to assault two children by sitting and standing on their bodies, between June 17 and 21 2018.

Solicitor John Kilcoyne said: “He had been diagnosed with dissociative personality disorder.

“Other professionals disagree with this.

“If a custodial sentence was imposed then he is a suicide risk.”

Sheriff Alastair Carmichael remitted the case to the High Court for a further report into his suitability for lifelong restriction.

He told Kerr: “I have two reports... and they both say you pose a risk to others.

“I think I therefore have to remit this case to the High Court to allow them to instruct another report to see if you do meet the criteria.”
