A man has been ordered to pay compensation to a woman after "bombarding" her with sexual messages after he spotted her number on a suitcase.

Paul Savory saw the woman boarding a train in Edinburgh and placing her suitcase in a storage rack on July 25 last year.

He then noted her name and phone number from a label on the bag before sitting down and sending her a string of "sexualised" messages over the course of a two-hour journey to Dundee.

In the messages Savory pretended he knew her and suggested she wanted to be in a relationship with him before making comments "to her fear and alarm".

Savory, 49, from Stockton-on-Tees, pleaded guilty on summary complaint to a charge of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner.

Sheriff Kevin Veal fined Savory £100 and ordered him to pay £100 compensation to his victim.
