## Resource

A 43-year-old Edinburgh man has been jailed for eight years after posing as a 15-year-old girl online to groom and sexually exploit eight young girls — six under 13, including one just nine. He pressured victims daily for explicit images, tried to arrange sexual meetings, and admitted to eight charges spanning nearly a year. The judge called his actions “seriously disturbing and depraved,” while the defense acknowledged his insight into his behavior. After prison, he’ll face six years of strict supervision, a 20-year ban on devices and contact with minors, and indefinite registration as a sex offender. Police praised the victims’ courage and reaffirmed their commitment to protecting children. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
