A serving police officer has been sentenced for indecent communications with a child.

Cameron Fraser, 28, was sentenced to a six-month community payback order on Wednesday.

He previously pled guilty at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court last month.

Now that criminal proceedings have concluded, Police Scotland Professional Standards Department will begin proceedings for gross misconduct.

Chief Superintendent Helen Harrison, Professional Standards Department said: “Fraser's offending and behaviour was appalling.

"In committing this crime Fraser believed that his online offending would go undetected. However, there is no hiding place, and as a result of our investigation he will now rightly face the consequences of his actions.

"It is right policing is held to high standards and we will always support officers and staff acting with our values and standards at heart. Those who reject what we stand for do not belong in Police Scotland.”
