Youth football coach jailed for raping teenage girl in car

While on bail, Murray sent sexual messages to an adult woman, who was posing as a 14-year-old girl on a social media app.

Murray, who believed he was talking to the underage child, then indecently exposed himself on a video call.

Judge Lord Sandison, said: “I think that you will be aware that because of the gravity of your offending to which you have been convicted of, only a custodial sentence is appropriate in these circumstances.”

At a hearing at the High Court in Edinburgh, Murray was sentenced to five years in prison with an extended supervision period of two years.

He was also given a non-harassment order banning him from contacting or attempting to contact his victim for three years and his name was added to the sex offenders register indefinitely.

Scotland’s procurator fiscal for high court sexual offending, Katrina Parkes, said Murray “held a position of trust within the local community while committing this horrific sexual offending”.

“He poses a danger to children and will now have to face the consequences of his actions,” she said.
