A GALASHIELS woman has made a second appearance in court in connection with having sex with a 14-year-old boy in Florida.

Sarah McGill was arrested at a hotel room in Florida, where it is alleged she was operating as a prostitute, on Saturday, April 7.

The 28-year-old from Church Square was charged with lewd and lascivious battery.

Prosecutors allege she was paid $480 by the boy to have sex with him.

McGill, who grew up in Selkirk, was released from custody after surrendering her passport and paying a $1,000 bond.

She returned to Orange County Court at the end of last week to appoint Donald Lykkebak as her attorney.
