Allan Bryant troll pleads guilty to online taunts
Father of missing Glenrothes man calls for ‘tougher sentence’ over sick messages
A vile internet troll who targeted the family of missing man Allan Bryant Jnr has admitted taunting them for a second time.
Stewart Mcinroy appeared from custody at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on Thursday and pled guilty to two charges.
The 27-year-old sent a series of taunting Facebook messages to dad Allan Senior and sister Amy, 22, using the Facebook messenger app on March 7.
The evil troll, who was previously jailed for taunting the family and saying he had tortured their loved one, will appear for sentencing on May 17.
Allan Senior slated Mcinroy’s actions and told how internet trolls have devastated his family since his son disappeared in November 2013 from Styx nightclub in Glenrothes.
The 52-year-old said: “He’s not long out of jail and he thinks he can target my family again. The court need to send out a proper message this time because each time he’s got the same sentence.
“He’s not going to stop. Obviously he has psychological issues but he still knows what he is doing and the effect it has. I’m going to write a letter to the procurator fiscal, telling them the effect these trolls have had on my family and how the poor sentences affect us.
“Hopefully he’ll get a tougher sentence this time around.”
