A MAN who dubbed himself "Master Satan 666" had underage sex with a 14-year-old girl after contacting her through an internet social networking site.

Stanley Craigie, of Maryhill, drove to the Highlands to meet the youngster at a playpark before having intercourse with her in his car.

Nightshift worker Craigie, 31, admitted having unlawful sexual intercourse with the girl on three occasions between August 15 and 18 last year near Nigg, in Ross-shire, when he appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh.

Advocate depute Alison Di Rollo said Craigie, under the name Master Satan, began chatting with the girl through the Raporo website.

He arranged to drive up to see her in the Tain area and after meeting at a park they later linked up when she was out walking a dog.

The girl's mother became concerned after the girl had been gone for some time and went looking for her in her car. She saw the pet sitting beside a parked car, sounded the horn and called on her daughter.

The following morning she noticed her daughter was not in her bedroom and contacted police.

The girl was traced and told police she had sex consensual with Craigie on three occasions.

Craigie later told police that her age was given as 16 on the networking site but that he was informed by her that she was actually 14.

Lord Uist deferred sentence on Craigie for the preparation of a background report and placed him on the sex offenders' register.

The judge agreed to continue his bail but told him: "You should not take anything from the fact you have been allowed bail."
