Inverness offender in dock over credit card used for Christmas shopping
A man was called back to court after failing to comply with sex offender notification requirements linked to a credit card.
Inverness Sheriff Court heard that Philip Moir (41) did not realise he was meant to inform police officers of a credit card he had obtained for Christmas shopping.
Fiscal depute Adele Gray told Sheriff Principal Eilidh MacDonald: “He was placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register. When police went out to him on March 5, he notified police of four cards, and informed them one of them was a Post Office credit card.”
Moir, of Sinclair Park, Smithton, pleaded guilty to failing to notify police within three days of obtaining the credit card.
Sheriff Macdonald fined him a total of £210.
She said: “These are serious matters for you.”
Moir’s defence solicitor said: “He used the card to purchase Christmas presents and didn’t think he was doing anything wrong.
“He now understands and has a more simplified version of the terms of the order.”
