A SEX offender from Greenock has been caught encouraging a 14-year-old to perform intimate acts in a series of twisted dating app messages. Thomas Stevenson, 54, was unaware he was in fact communicating with an adult female posing as a schoolgirl when he told her she should be enjoying her body. The perverted loner who has been spared a prison sentence went into graphic detail of what he wanted the child to do. Stevenson constantly asked the decoy, who used a profile picture of a teenage girl, if she touched her private parts, Greenock Sheriff Court was told. The court heard how Stevenson, a former chef, communicated with the decoy across two dating apps Skout and Meet Me between October and December of 2019.
