BUCKIE MAN ADMITS SENDING UNWANTED SEXUAL MESSAGES
Nicholas Murray, 50, from Buckie, sent a series of unwanted X-rated messages to a 22-year-old man, which led to police involvement.
Murray appeared at Elgin Sheriff Court this week and admitted to sending indecent or obscene messages to the young man on May 19 of this year.
The victim's identity is protected for legal reasons.
The court was told that Murray's actions came to light after the recipient took screenshots of the messages and showed them to a friend.
Murray is scheduled to return to court next month for sentencing.
The article details the messages exchanged, with the victim initially thinking it was a joke but feeling uncomfortable when Murray suggested a sexual act and asked, "wanna join me?" and "thought you could help me out." The victim stopped replying due to discomfort.
The court did not order Murray to be added to the sex offenders list immediately and requested a background report and risk assessment before sentencing.
Murray's defense requested waiting until the next court hearing, which is set for August.
