Airman placed on sex offenders register for asking children to strip online
BySheanne Mulholland
An airman who asked underage girls to strip online and watched them from his RAF bedroom in Leuchars has been placed on the sex offenders register.
Chesney Wallbank, 23, was placed on the register for two years after admitting one charge at Dundee Sheriff Court.
Wallbank, of RAF Leuchars, admitted that between April 21 2011, and June 5 2013, at his home address, he took or made indecent photographs or pseudo photographs of children.
The court previously heard Wallbank had asked girls to strip via online chat sites, urging one to do homework naked.
His actions were discovered after his room was raided and his laptop seized by RAF officials.
They carried out the raid after Wallbank allegedly faked documents to allow him to work with cadets.
Examination of the laptop revealed indecent images within a temporary storage area used by Windows Live Messenger.
The court heard 10 indecent images and various chat logs were found, including comments from girls saying, ‘I’m only 14’ and ‘I don’t want to do that’.
At the sheriff court today, Wallbank was also placed under one year’s supervision and ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work within the community.
