JAMES GREENS FROM GLENROTHES SENTENCED FOR HORRIFIC ABUSE OF UNDERAGE GIRL

A 71-year-old man named James Greens, residing in Glenrothes, has been sentenced to four years in prison following a series of heinous crimes involving the sexual abuse of a young girl. The court heard that Greens began his abusive behavior when the victim was just 13 years old, engaging in a pattern of exploitation that spanned over a period of time.

According to court records, Greens not only subjected the girl to sexual assault but also engaged in sending her explicit messages, further violating her trust and innocence. The severity of his actions was compounded when he purchased a sex toy for her birthday, which he then used on her, causing her significant pain and emotional trauma. This act of manipulation and abuse left lasting scars on the young victim.

During the sentencing, the presiding judge emphasized the gravity of Greens' offenses, describing them as “planned and premeditated,” highlighting the calculated nature of his abuse for his own sexual gratification. The judge, Lord Menzies, acknowledged the impact of Greens' actions by referencing a victim impact statement presented during the case. He stated, “It should be no surprise to you, nor to anyone, the trauma which your abuse has caused.”

In delivering the verdict, the court made it clear that such serious offenses warrant a significant custodial sentence, reflecting the community’s condemnation of such predatory behavior. Greens’ crimes have left a profound mark on the victim, and the legal proceedings serve as a stark reminder of the importance of protecting vulnerable individuals from exploitation and abuse.
