A TEENAGER who admitted having sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl has been placed on supervision for the next 12 months at the town's sheriff court.

The 17-year-old male from Jedburgh - who cannot be named due to his age - pleaded guilty at the town's sheriff court to being involved in sexual activity with the under age girl in woodland at Hartigge, Jedburgh, between March 1 and March 31 last year.

He also admitted sending an image of his penis to her and repeatedly asking her to send pictures of her naked body.

The teenager also pleaded guilty to asking two other 14-year-old girls to send pictures of their naked bodies.

A not guilty plea to a similar charge involving another 14-year-old girl was accepted by the Crown.

The Community Pay Back Order also involved carrying out 120 hours unpaid work.
