A REGISTERED sex offender, barred from being in the company of a child under 16, has been jailed for eight months.
Jedburgh Sheriff Court was told Alexander McKie, 39, was found in the company of a 14-year-old child.
He appeared on indictment, and admitted breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order, originally imposed at Duns Sheriff Court in 2007.
It was renewed in 2012, and is due to expire in 2017.
The eight-month jail term for McKie, whose address was given as Barlinnie prison of Glasgow, was back-dated to September 17.
