A man from Rosyth, Fife, has been sent to prison for sexual abuse against three male children and one adult male.

Jordan Jones will spend the next eight years behind bars after being sentenced at the High Court in Inverness.

Jones' offending occurred between 2010 and 2024 in several areas including Rosyth, the Outer Hebrides, Dunfermline, South Queensferry.

An investigation was launched in 2020, when police received a report of serious sexual offences. As enquiries continued, officers became aware of other victims.

One boy was just 12 when the abuse began, which continued over a two-year period. Other victims were aged between 13 and 16 years old.

Police Scotland detective constable, Karen Nairn, said: "Jones is a sexual predator who preyed on children and abused them in the most horrific way.

“I can only hope that today they take some comfort knowing their abuser is behind bars as they continue to move forward with their lives.

"Child abuse in any form is unacceptable and I would urge anyone who has suffered at the hands of an abuser to report it to us, in the knowledge that we will do everything we can to ensure you are supported and that the person responsible is held to account for their crimes.”
