A 54-year-old man who gave a teenage girl a camera so she could take indecent images of herself for him to view has been jailed for 10 months at Jedburgh Sheriff Court.

Allan Nelson had previously pleaded guilty to inducing the under age girl to take part in sexual activity by giving her the camera.

He also admitted charges of lewd and libidinous practices towards the girl at a house in Peebles and also having indecent images of her on his computer.

In addition to the prison sentence, Nelson had his name placed on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years.
