But he omitted to tell a supervising police officer of his change of circumstances which he is required to do under the notification requirements of the Sex Offenders Act.

Spreading my wings It was his grandfather’s sticker-covered suitcase that helped spark Doug’s interest in travel. After growing up on Glendinning Terrace then Wylies Brae, Doug moved to the south of England when he was about 17 years old, working as an assistant professional at Hayling Island Golf Course near Portsmouth. It was here that Doug met a golf pro who part-owned a club in the Bahamas. “He asked me if I’d like to go to the Bahamas to work at his golf club and being 20 years old at the time I thought that would be a great opportunity to spread my wings,” Doug said.
