«Breaking News» Paedophile, 24, who groomed girls online jailed for raping and assaulting victims as young as 12

A predator who abused girls on an 'industrial scale' has been jailed for 12 years for the rape and abuse of girls aged 12 to 17. 

Gavin Scoular, now 24, used social media sites to make contact with his young victims and offer them affection between 2010 and 2013.

Scoular targeted the vulnerable girls at locations in Edinburgh, many of whom were beneath the age of consent, and 'discarded' them afterwards.

Passing sentence at the High Court in Edinburgh, Lord Summers said: 'In most cases you coerced them into unwanted sexual activity by engaging in online grooming.

'You engaged with these behaviours with a large number of girls within a short period of time.

'You used social media to make contact with them, offer them affection.

'Some of them were vulnerable with unhappy home lives but they succumbed to your advances.

'All you wanted was sexual gratification and each of those girls was discarded by you once you abused them for your own purposes.'

During exchanges with Scoular's defence counsel, the judge also spoke of the 'industrial scale' of the offending. 

Scoular was convicted of seven rapes against four girls, as well as a string of other sexual offences – taking the total number of victims to seven.

He handed him an extended sentence involving a further five-year period of supervision following release from custody, and placed Scoular on the sex offenders' register indefinitely.

The court heard how Scoular's victims, all of whom were younger than him, ranged in age from 12 to 17.

The offending behaviour in this case began when he almost 15 and ran until he was 18, covering the period from 2010 to 2013.

His offending was only brought to a halt when he was arrested in connection with other offences.

Scoular was found guilty of the rapes at a trial at the High Court in Livingston last year.

Three of the rape victims were under the age of consent at the time the attacks took place.

Scoular, listed as a prisoner in Dumfries, was also convicted of other charges, including unlawful sexual activity with someone under 16, sexual assault and grooming charges.

The judge had looked into the possibility of imposing an Order for Lifelong Restriction on the offender, but he ruled that the criteria were not met after experts found that Scoular posed a medium risk of reoffending.

Iain Paterson, defending, had urged the court to take Scoular's age and relative immaturity at the time into account when passing sentence.

He spoke of the likelihood that the offender could change his ways and said the convictions have had a 'dramatic impact' on Scoular's family.

The court heard how knowledge of the offences effectively emerged from the same police inquiry that saw Scoular convicted of charges at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in 2014 – a factor the judge took into account when handing out the sentence.

Detective Chief Inspector Martin Maclean said of Scoular: 'The Public Protection Unit investigation into his devices revealed offending on a scale amongst the worst I have ever come across in such a short space of time.'

He also said: 'Scoular is an extremely dangerous individual, taking every opportunity he could to go online and exploit young girls – it is fair to say he was compelled to do this for his own sexual gratification.'

A spokesman for children's charity NSPCC Scotland said: 'In common with increasing numbers of abusers, Scoular used social media to target young girls and carry out his sickening crimes.

'It is clear that children face grave risks in the online world and the NSPCC has called for stricter guidelines to be introduced to keep children safe.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
