April 2016 Kilwinning flasher handed a tagging order but avoids being placed on Sex Offender’s Register A KILWINNING man who exposed himself at a train station in front of a child has avoided being placed on the Sex Offender’s Register. Darren Blair, 43, dodged a jail term after drunkenly exposing his private parts to a woman at Irvine Railway Station on December 15 last year. He committed the disgusting act while a nine-year-old child was nearby. Blair, of Kilwinning’s Blair Road, previously pleaded guilty to the offence at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court and returned to the dock last week. Sheriff Foran voiced her concerns about a suggestion made by her colleague Sheriff Derek Livingston who placed Blair on the Sex Offender’s Register. Sheriff Livingston suggested previously that there was a serious sexual element to Blair’s offence. Sheriff Foran decided to neither place Blair on the Sex Offender’s Register or send him to prison. Blair was sentenced to three years supervision, placed on a two month tagging order and ordered to complete the Moving Forwards, Making Changes programme.
