Inverness man to await his fate while psychiatric report takes place
Sentence has been deferred for a psychiatric report on a 40-year-old sex offender after he twice failed to comply with registration requirements.
David Geddes, of Hawthorn Drive, Inverness had previously admitted the two offences plus a charge of threatening behaviour towards two detective constables who had gone to check on him on October 5 this year.

He was due to be dealt with at Inverness Sheriff Court following preparation of a background report but defence solicitor Rory Gowans asked for his case to be deferred again.
He told Sheriff Sara Matheson: "I have real concerns about his health which have been exacerbated by stress. I think he needs to see a psychologist or psychiatrist."
Sheriff Matheson deferred sentence again until January 16 for a psychiatric report.
