A Dunfermline resident, Stuart Noble, aged 53, found himself in the spotlight at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court after admitting to sending explicit images and messages to a police decoy posing as a 12-year-old girl. The communications, which took place between March 7 and 18 of the previous year, included not only naked photographs of adult males in women’s clothing but also discussions of sexual acts that he believed were directed towards a minor.
Slave chat
Depute fiscal Sarah Smith detailed how Noble utilized Kik Messenger to engage with the decoy, who identified herself as a schoolgirl. His messages conveyed a submissive demeanor, as he expressed a desire to be “kinda like a slave,” stating, “I wish I was kneeling naked at your feet right now miss, ready to do absolutely anything you told me to do regardless of where we were or who was watching.”
In his attempts to verify the decoy’s identity, he requested a photograph, which resulted in the receipt of a non-sexual image of a child. This prompted Noble to send explicit photographs, exclaiming, “I can’t believe I’m sending a 12-year-old nudes.” His communications escalated to include an explicit video, where he expressed eagerness to showcase it live.
Despite the early hour, with messages sent from just after 5 am, Noble continued to apologize for the volume of his posts. He mentioned plans to acquire pink bikini bottoms, stating, “Am going to pick up my pink bikini bottoms today miss so I can show you,” and subsequently sent photos featuring these items along with various sex toys. His messages also included remarks about intimate acts, such as kissing her feet, and queries about the girl needing assistance in the shower, asking, “You need someone to scrub your back miss?”
Underwear and sex toys seized
Following the investigation, police executed a search of Noble’s residence, uncovering clothing items that matched those depicted in the explicit images. Additionally, a large bag containing women’s underwear and sex toys was recovered from his vehicle, with many items corresponding to those featured in the videos and photographs.
Noble defended his actions by claiming he believed he was participating in “fantasy chats with like-minded adults.” Sheriff James Williamson has since called for further reports, with sentencing scheduled for April 8. In light of these events, Noble has been placed on the sex offenders register.
