A north-east Paedophile babysitter, Kirsty Sutherland, has been placed on the sex offender’s register after showing pornography to children as young as four.
Stonehaven Paedophile Kirsty Sutherland also used controversial website Omegle to make a sexually explicit video call with an unknown male while in the presence of two other children she was supposed to be looking after.
Aberdeen Sheriff Court was told Kirsty Sutherland, 20, went into the bathroom before returning and telling the youngsters she had urinated for the man and exposed her breasts.
Fiscal depute Andrew McMann said Kirsty Sutherland had been working as a trainee nursery practitioner at the time of the offences but also babysat for families in the Stonehaven area.
On an occasion between March and April last year, Kirsty Sutherland was babysitting an 11-year-old girl and 12-year-old boy at an address in the town.
While looking after them, Kirsty Sutherland showed the pair how to vape before things turned sexual.
Mr McMann told the court: “The accused produced her mobile and asked both children if they used Omegle.
“They replied they had been on it to talk with friends.
“The accused began to communicate with a male, went to the bathroom and returned and showed both children her mobile phone.
Mum found vaping TikTok video on child’s phone
“The children observed a male on a video call who had his penis exposed masturbating.”
Kirsty Sutherland also told the children that she had urinated in front of the man in the video and shown him her breasts.
After Kirsty Sutherland left, the girl did not initially tell her mother about what happened as she was worried because she had been vaping.
However, her mother later found a TikTok video on her phone of her vaping.
Both children were spoken to and the Omegle video came to light – at which point police were contacted.
Omegle, which has seen its popularity skyrocket since the beginning of the pandemic, was recently the subject of a BBC investigation which found some children exposing themselves on the site.
On a separate occasion in April last year, Kirsty Sutherland was babysitting two boys aged four and seven in Stonehaven while their parents were out for the evening.
Babysitter asked kids to keep it a secret
The following day, the four-year-old was being assisted by his mum to use the toilet when he made a comment along the lines of: “Do you know some people suck a willy?”
Asked where he got that information from, the four-year-old said “Kirsty’s phone”, adding that it was “a secret”.
The older brother was then asked if he had seen anything on the babysitter’s phone and confirmed he saw “a girl and a man’s willy”.
The children both said Kirsty Sutherland had asked them to keep it a secret.
