Probation for sex offender

A BELLSHILL man who committed a public indecency offence in Strathclyde Country Park has been put on probation.

Paul McCormick (44), of Redwood Crescent, was also placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register.

He committed the lewd act in front of people in February and admitted the offence in May. But his not guilty plea to resisting arrest by struggling with police was accepted by the Crown.

At Hamilton Sheriff Court last week, Sheriff Joyce Powrie gave McCormick a year’s probation.
