Stephen Craig, 23, 18 Bankhill Court, Grangemouth, was granted bail on March 12, 2018 and made subject to a condition not to have any contact with any child under the age of 16 unless they are supervised by an adult over the age of 21.

However, he pleaded guilty to breaching that condition by contacting underage girls on various occasions between February 22 and February 28, 2019.

Last Thursday, Sheriff Derek Livingston said sentence had previously been deferred for a review of an order imposed by Falkirk Sheriff Court.
