Leuchars soldier sent rape threats via Tinder

A soldier sent a string of rape threats to a woman via dating app Tinder.

Nathan Brown admitted sending a series of explicit, “extremely sexual” messages through the app.

Brown, who is based at the former RAF base in Leuchars, had previously spoken to the woman on Tinder.

Then, on December 9 last year, he sent her the string of messages in the early hours of the morning.

She woke up to find “serious and graphic” threats and called in police.

Brown, 23, c/o Leuchars base, pleaded guilty on summary complaint to engaging in a course of conduct which caused a woman fear and alarm by contacting her by telephone and repeatedly sending her messages of a threatening and sexual nature, on December 9 last year, at an address in north-east Fife.

Solicitor William Boyle, defending, said: “The army take a pretty rigid approach to this.

“He has his commanding officer here today and he has told me that if he was sentenced to around 100 hours unpaid work he won’t get dismissed from the service.

“If he is at liberty they will offer him support. But I and they do not want to try to bargain with the court.”

Sheriff Alastair Brown deferred sentence until next month for social work background reports and placed Brown on the sex offenders register.
