Jury delivers guilty verdicts

A 26-year-old man has been found guilty of five sexual offences, which took place between January, 2004, and August, 2012, in Kirkwall.

The charges against Graham Findlay, of Scapa Crescent, Kirkwall, included four counts of lewd, indecent and libidinous behaviour towards boys aged between seven and 13, and sexual assault against a 16-year-old male.

At Kirkwall Sheriff Court this afternoon, on day ten of the trial, a jury returned guilty verdicts on all charges.

Last week, Findlay was cleared of two separate offences of a sexual nature.

Sentence was deferred for reports until July 30, and Findlay was released on bail.

He was also put on the sex offenders register on an interim basis.
