A church youth leader has been jailed for the sustained sexual abuse of two young girls which began when he was just 14.

One of Alexander Taylor’s victims was only five years old when he began abusing her, while the other was 12.

Taylor was 14 when the offending began in 2001, but it continued until he was 20.

When police detained him last year, he confessed to them he had done something “horribly, horribly wrong”.

The 25-year-old, of Chapelhill Road, Fraserburgh, was jailed for 32 months at the High Court in Edinburgh on Friday after he admitted two counts of indecency towards the children.
