A sex attacker who preyed on two teenage boys at locations in Fife and Ayrshire has been jailed for 12 years.
Scott Faulkner was locked up at the High Court in Glasgow.
The 34 year-old had previously been convicted after a trial in Edinburgh of six charges.
Faulkner was first found guilty of the abduction and rape of a boy who was aged between 13 and 17 when he was abused.
The charge listed a number of locations in Ayrshire including Cumnock, Auchinleck and Stevenston as well as in Kirkcaldy.
No remorse
Faulkner communicated inappropriately via Snapchat and Facebook with this victim and another teenage boy.
Jurors heard Faulkner also had indecent images of children.
He further breached bail by flouting an order not to have unsupervised contact with any youngster under 16.
The charges spanned between 2010 and 2021.
Lord Armstrong told Faulkner: “The (pre-sentencing) report indicates that you continue to deny responsibility for your actions.
“It is noted you have shown no remorse in that regard.
“You are assessed as presenting a high risk of sexual re-offending.
“I am satisfied that there is no alternative to a custodial sentence.”
Faulker, of Cumnock, was put on the sex offenders list indefinitely.
Gareth Jones KC, defending, earlier told the sentencing hearing: “He has no previous convictions. His position remains one of denial.”
