A 27-YEAR-OLD sexual ‘predator’ from the Highlands is facing up to 10 years in prison after a jury convicted him of having sex with an underage girl more than three years ago.
Angus Francis, of 2 Ross Place, Fort William, was accused of having sexual intercourse with the girl at various locations in Oban in 2012 and 2013, when she was aged 14 and 15, and he was aged 22 and 23.
Oban Sheriff Court heard Francis, a sales area manager, admit having sex with the 14-year-old girl in June 2012 when, he said, he believed she was 16. He denied the second charge of having sex with the girl when she was 15.
