Overview
- Glasgow Sheriff Court last month sentenced Liam Moir to 18 months in prison after his conviction for sexually abusing a child.
- The court placed Moir on the sex offenders register for 10 years and imposed a five-year non-harassment order.
- The abuse began on the girl’s 12th birthday in 2023 and continued for about five months before she disclosed it to her grandmother after a threat to her younger sister.
- The teenager testified at trial and, according to her mother, has since struggled with severe psychological harm, stopped attending school, and is awaiting CAMHS support.
- The mother called the term too lenient and fears early release, as official data show 14,892 sexual crimes reported in the past year and rape or attempted rape reports rising to 2,897 from 2,522 year on year.
