A barman hounded from his home by protesters live on TikTok after being unmasked as a sex beast has been jailed.
James Thomson, who was convicted by a jury of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl and a woman, was caged for 46 months.
The 68-year-old’s house in Peebles in the Scottish Borders was the site of a demonstration by enraged residents.

Thomson sent messages of a sexual nature to another woman on various occasions between 2018 and 2019.
