A MAN who blamed his sleazy moves on Gangnam Style has been banned from drinking in every pub across Scotland for six months.
Derek Kerr, who lost his job as a local authority IT consultant after being convicted of dancefloor sex attacks, was given the conduct order as he avoided being jailed yesterday.
The 37-year-old father-of-two was ordered to carry out 200 hours unpaid work and placed on the Sex Offenders Register for 30 months by Sheriff John Rafferty.
He told Kerr at Perth Sheriff Court: "I am going to make a conduct requirement, preventing him from consuming alcohol in any licensed premises for a period of six months.
"I don't think you are an alcoholic, but you do have an issue with behaviour when you have been drinking and this order gives you the opportunity to address that."
The sheriff had found Kerr, of Keathbank Court, Blairgowrie, guilty of sexually assaulting two teenagers at the town's Cartwheel Inn.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
