Children’s charity welcomes sentence of local sex offender

A children’s charity has welcomed the custodial sentence given to a sex offender at Dundee Sheriff Court.

David Glass, described as a “predator”, subjected his victims to horrific sexual assaults, having abused three boys aged between three and 11 in his caravan in the East Neuk.

He has been jailed for five years.

A spokesman for the NSPCC Scotland said: “Glass’s crimes are those of a predatory child abuser.

“With cold calculation and deliberate intent, he inflicted horrific abuse against children, whose lives will have been devastated by his sickening actions.

“The sentence passed will hopefully provide a sense of justice to his victims, who should be praised for having the bravery to give evidence.

“It is now vital they receive the help they need to overcome the ordeals they have experienced and it is also crucial that Glass receives treatment while behind bars to reduce his risk of re-offending when released.”
