Archibald Smith Fife Paedophile
Archibald Smith Fife Paedophile

A convicted Fife Paedophile, Archibald Smith, obtained a little girl’s image on the internet and gave it to a woman, asserting it was his daughter and enquiring whether she desired him to engage in a sexual act with the child.

Archibald Smith’s inappropriate action occurred immediately after he transmitted a video of himself engaging in masturbation to the woman.

Fiscal depute Sarah Smith informed Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court that the woman encountered Archibald Smith on the Badoo online dating platform, and their dialogue transitioned to Snapchat.

She was appalled by the direction the talk had taken and informed the police.

The crime occurred within three months following Archibald Smith’s release from incarceration for prior sexual offences.

Archibald Smith was incarcerated for a duration of three years and eight months.
