Man jailed for sex attack on boy, four

Christopher Morrison, 20, admitted attacking the child at an Asda store in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, on September 18 last year.

Morrison, who lives in Elderslie, Renfrewshire, appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh to
be sentenced for what judge 
Lord Bracadale described as
“a very disturbing offence”
and an “extremely unusual 
case”.

A victim impact statement from the boy’s mother showed that the assault affected the child, Lord Bracadale said.

“It is clear from the risk assessment report that there is a serious background here,” he told Morrison.

“The risk can only be addressed and managed if you participate in custody and after you are released.”

Morrison was sentenced to two years and six months in custody, followed by a three-and-a-half-year period on licence.
