MOFFAT SEX OFFENDER GARY YOUNG SENTENCED TO SEVEN YEARS IN GLASGOW HIGH COURT

In a significant legal case held at the High Court in Glasgow, a man from Moffat, identified as Gary Young, has been handed down a prison sentence of seven years. The conviction stems from a series of serious charges related to his inappropriate conduct over a span of several years.

Gary Young, aged 54 at the time of sentencing, faced a total of five charges, which included three counts of lewd, indecent, and libidinous behavior. These offenses were committed on multiple occasions between the years 2004 and 2010, involving a young girl who was victimized during this period.

During the court proceedings, Judge Morris emphasized the gravity of the crimes committed by Young. The judge made it clear that the sentence would commence immediately, reflecting the severity of the offenses and the need for justice.

Furthermore, Young was informed that upon his release from prison, he would be required to register as a sex offender, a measure designed to monitor and restrict his activities in the community. The court's decision underscores the importance of safeguarding vulnerable individuals and ensuring that offenders are held accountable for their actions.
